Anousha Payne

Interested in object-based spirituality and traditions, Anousha Payne creates a new form of animism with her sculptures, paintings, and installations. Engaged in an ongoing exploration of Tamil folklore and mythologies, she imbues spirituality into objects and investigates the materialities of the ritual or divine.

Anousha Payne (b. 1991) graduated from the Camberwell College of Arts in 2014 with a BFA, and has since expanded her practice to encompass painting, sculpture, and mixed-media installations. Her works have shown globally in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Denmark, the United States of America, and Spain. Payne currently lives and works in London.
