Elspeth Walker, (b.1997, Warrington) is a writer and visual artist based in London, with an MA in Writing from the RCA. Her multidisciplinary practice spans across drawing with oil sticks, sculpture, photography, installation and writing.

Her work explores the relationship between writing, materials and space, and exploring class, memory, psychogeography, the modern archive and feminism as recurring themes. Influenced by surrealist artists, replacing memory with dreams, and the works of Louise Bourgeois, her work has explored the way in which lines and threads bind memory and personal history in a variety of settings.

Her most recent projects consider the relationship of threads and traditional trades in terms of personal family heritage, exploring the boundaries of the modern archive and remapping space through memory.

Elspeth’s artwork and zines have been exhibited at a variety of exhibitions, most notable: It Starts with a Thread, Whitechapel Gallery, 2023-24, Bad Art, Soho, London, 2023, and We are Family, ESPS, St Leonards on Sea 2024. During 2023 she undertook a residency at Descover Artists, Hydra, Greece in September, and was invited back to Eonia, Descover Artists, Chios in 2025 for a self lead residency. 

Her pamphlet Dedications was published by If a Leaf Falls Press (2024). She was recently published in Ache Magazine’s anthology Fit Notes (2025) with the essay Victorian Time-Piece. Elspeth’s written work has been published in various journals such as Culturala, Descover Artists Publications, and online for Clot Magazine, alongside other publications. Her pamphlets and zines are stocked across the UK and have been featured in exhibitions, such as Whitechapel Gallery's 'It starts with a thread' 2023-24.

Elspeth is the founder of Otherwise Implied, a collaborative curatorial programme, with plans to expand in 2026, after two successful exhibitions and one publication. She was also trustee at the Photographers Gallery from 2020-2024.
