    Artist Di Mainstone

    Artist and researcher, Di Mainstone creates body-centric sculptures, designed to initiate movement and storytelling. Many of these wearable artefacts are inspired by technology. Some of them release sound when handled. Often, they can be modified to create new silhouettes, environments and functionalities. All of them tell a story.

    Di’s body-centric devices have been performed at home and abroad, most notably at The V&A, The Barbican, The National Portrait Gallery, Eyebeam NYC and the Swedish National Touring Theatre. Each happening is unique, revealing openings for audience and performer encounters. Di’s work can also be seen in films, which she writes and directs.

    Di’s studio is found up a windy stairway, amidst the reclaimed tube trains that roost on top of Shoreditch’s Village Underground. Here her sculptural adornments are brought to life with dancers and musicians. As Artist in Residence at Queen Mary University, Di collaborates with Scientists to incorporate new technology into her body-centric creations. [ more ]
