About Glass Delusion
10 years after her participation in prestigious emerging artist platforms: Royal Scottish Academy’s New Contemporaries and Edinburgh’s Art Festival’s Platform, Proudfoot will present her solo exhibition Glass Delusion at Collective from Friday 6 March – Sunday 24 May 2026.
Expanding on Proudfoot’s exploration of the female voice and body, the exhibition will present large scale ceramic friezes, depicting contemporary puppet-like figures often in uncanny medical poses where skin and organs are revealed, examined and stitched together. Proudfoot’s engaging installations combine historic references such as the 19th century French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot's use of hypnosis to examine ‘hysteria’ in women with current explorations into women’s voices as technological ‘puppets’ such as Siri and Alexa.
