    The Tree Project: Cathie Pilkington

Her site-responsive installations are balanced ambivalently between chaos and precision and have been described as a kind of art historical fly-tipping.

    Pilkington studied at Edinburgh College of Art (1986-91) and The Royal College of Art (1995-97).

    She was elected a Royal Academician in 2014 and became the first female professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools 2016-2019.
