Skye Shadowlight Brite: 80s/HD

Skye Shadowlight (b.1974) is a neurodivergent Texan-born artist who has lived and worked in Calderdale for over twenty years. As a modern-day storyteller with plenty of thought-provoking tales to tell, she creates large scale installations often featuring live performance.

Previous exhibitions include Liverpool Independents Biennial (2018) and SHAPE OPEN (London)(2017). Skye was the winner of Edna Lumb Travel Award at Leeds Beckett University and the Square Peg Bursary (2018).

In 80s/HD, Skye takes a vibrant trip back in time to the 1980s. She explores the challenges of being an undiagnosed girl with ADHD and all of the feelings and emotions surrounding her situation. The work is comprised of different toys, games and objects of the time, which have been subverted and reimagined to bring stories to life. There will be a live performance at the opening.
