    Sean Edwards (b. Cardiff, 1980) graduated with an MA from the Slade School of Art in 2005 and is currently Programme Director for Fine Art & Photography at Cardiff School of Art and Design.
    His work investigates the sculptural and political potential of the everyday, using remnants and fragments as a starting point. Objects appear in-progress and open to change, woven together with personal, familial and political histories through sculpture, mixed media installation and audio-visual work.


    Edwards represented Wales at the 58th Venice Biennale (2019) with Undo Things Done, an installation addressing austerity, class, shame and loss that drew on his own experience of growing up on a council estate. It included a live radio play performed daily for seven months by his mother, later adapted for BBC Radio 4. He was awarded the Turner Prize Bursary in 2020. He has exhibited widely nationally and internationally, including at Centre Pompidou, Paris, and Lisson Gallery, London and hiss work is in public collections including National Museum Wales, Arts Council and The Government Collection.' Sean won the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the 2014 National Eisteddfod in Llanelli.
