(They/Them)

Hayley Jane Dawson is a Glaswegian artist and writer. Their practice is interdisciplinary, working mainly with ceramics and text. Dawson’s work currently explores the histories and lives of the working-class in Scotland, particularly Glasgow. Recent projects have focused on Scots dialect as well as questioning whose voices are heard and referenced within academia and other public spaces. Their writing has been published by Nothing Personal magazine and Pilot Press and they have been commissioned by both Glasgow Zine Library and Lunchtime to make pamphlets of their writing and drawings. Their work has also been shown at Generator Projects and Tate St.Ives.
