Graduating in 2021 with a BA in Photography, Aisling Edwards has developed her practice by recording her sculptures, born from, and of, the landscape.
Aisling Edwards is a photographic artist and sculptor based in Monmouthshire, Wales, exploring how people shape, inhabit and remember the landscape. Through observed photographs and sculptural interventions, her practice brings together histories of place, environmental change and traces of human activity.
Working with found natural materials, Edwards creates temporary site-specific interventions that respond to their surroundings. Movement, light, weather and natural processes become part of the work, with photography preserving moments within its transformation.
Edwards practice is grounded in sustained observation and relationships built over time. Recent work includes Mark Time Epynt 85 Mlynedd, developed through fifteen months access to the Ministry of Defence Sennybridge Training Area on the Epynt plateau. Bringing attention to a less widely told history of Wales, the project explores the relationship between the land's agricultural past and its present use. In 2026, Mark Time premiered in In Between Edges - a duo-show with Dafna Talmor at BayArt, as part of Ffoto Cymru, Wales’ International Photography Festival.
Edwards is interested in how sculpture and photography can connect communities with the places around them. Through commissions, interventions, workshops and public conversations, she seeks to create opportunities for people to explore local histories, share knowledge and consider how landscapes change over time. She welcomes collaboration with research departments, cultural and heritage organisations and those responsible for managing land, developing projects that bring artistic enquiry into dialogue with historical and environmental research.
In 2021, Edwards graduated with a 1st Class Honours in Photography from Falmouth University. Her work has since been exhibited in the UK and internationally. In 2026, her work featured in Beyond the Dragon - Stories from Wales in the Language of Craft at the Royal Society of Arts, London.
Her debut solo exhibition, Shifting Perspectives: Aisling Edwards' Landscapes in Flux, took place at Canwood Gallery and Sculptural Gardens, Herefordshire, in 2024.
The same year, Edwards was one of nine selected globally for Erik Kessles' Welcome to My Unknown Award - 1st Edition for display at Milan International Photography Fair.
