David Alesworth is a sculptor, photographer and researcher of garden histories, working between Pakistan and the United Kingdom. Over the past decade, the garden has been a key metaphor for him, with which to question humanity’s culturally specific relationships with the natural world. His work continues to dialogue with an expanded vision of the garden as ‘global forest’. His own hybrid identity informs many aspects of his practice and he has an enduring commitment to public art projects. He was a pivotal member of the Karachi Pop movement in the 1990s, a former Head of Sculpture, IVSAA (1989-2003), Karachi, and is a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. His work has been featured in publications such as the Architectural Review and British Art Studies. Recent exhibitions include his solo show, The Careless Mapping in 2020 at Canvas Gallery in Karachi as well as inclusions in group shows such as the Centre of Gravity in 2020 at Soapworks in Bristol; Lie of the Land at Milton Keynes Gallery, 2019; The Lahore Biennale, 2018; The Karachi Biennale 2017; Pera Museum, Istanbul, 2016, and The Garden of Ideas, Agha Khan Museum, Toronto, 2015. Alesworth is a Stanley Picker Fellowship Award Winner and was shortlisted for the V&A’s Jameel Art Prize in 2016. He is a studio holder at Spike Island ArtSpace, Bristol.
