In this episode, we hear from Glasgow‑based artist Tinsel Edwards, whose bold, autobiographical practice spans painting, printmaking, assemblage, installation and public art interventions. Born in the Midlands and trained at Goldsmiths, Tinsel has built a distinctive visual language that blends emotional honesty, humour and political critique.

We explore the themes that define her work, from motherhood and domesticity to feminism, economic pressure and the ongoing housing crisis. Tinsel’s tactile approach, using found objects, reclaimed materials and sculptural elements, creates layered narratives that reflect the complexity of contemporary life. Throughout, she champions women’s stories and challenges the erasure of women in art history.
