Edi is based in Essex and, from time-to-time, East London. Due to chronic illness, most of the time they're based in bed.

They are an interdisciplinary artist dedicated to a socially-engaged practice that explores, reflects on and documents experiences of time, digital culture, power, identity, and belonging - with a particular focus on disability, place, gender and queerness. After originally developing their craft as a photographer, they now work with a slower, more accessible practice - with mediums including photography, moving image, sound, print and workshops.
