RA Collection: People and Organisations

Marie Toseland was born in 1987 in Derby. She studied at U.W.E, Bristol and gained a BA in Art & Visual Culture in 2010. Since graduating she has continued to practice, during which time she has been based primarily at Spike Island, Bristol, with a short spell in Nottingham. Toseland has exhibited and staged performances across the country, as well as having work in publications.

Working across a variety of media, which primarily focuses around sculpture, photography and writing, Toseland considers notions of failure and loss, and explores the tension between expectation and event. The work varies between being very slight and understated, and commanding sculptural installations.
