Seona Myerscough completed the City & Guilds School of Art MA programme in September 2025.

She was previously part of the Mass Studio Programme at Thames-Side Studios, Woolwich for 2022/23.

Seona is a member of Changeable Beast, a group of artists formed from their current and past involvement with MASS.

Seona has been making a portable Time Machine for the last three years and the development and outcomes have been recorded as part of her work.

Unfortunately there has been a serious disruption in the space time continuum and the Time Traveller has not returned to her original time line, what is currently left behind is an AI Avatar.

At the heart of her work is a desire to explore time, memory, identity and mortality. She uses her own body and fragments of it, such as eyes, mouths, hands and ears as both material and metaphor. These visual elements operate as markers of presence, tools for communication, and symbols of the passage of time and change.

Autobiographical elements underpin much of her practice. Through storytelling, costume, and invented devices, she seeks to extend the fleeting experience of her own existence, to reflect on its absurdity and its insignificance.

Her aesthetic is deliberately handmade, awkward and shonky. Seona embraces imperfection, humour, failure and accident as core methodologies.

Influenced by clowning, she uses comic actions and improvised problem-solving to explore existential concerns, particularly the limits of time, the unreliability of memory, and the inevitability of loss.

Seona’s philosophical position aligns with optimistic nihilism: she accepts that life has no inherent meaning, but finds liberation in that.

Seona is drawn to contradiction and paradox:


– Optimism and nihilism
– Humour and pathos
– The provisional and the precise
– Truth and invention


Seona’s practice is an attempt to hold these tensions, not resolve them to invite others into a space where the handmade and the impossible, the comic and the serious, can coexist.
