Edori Fertig is an East Dulwich artist who pays tribute to lost histories by combining print, painting and carving in delicate and haunting assemblages. She purposefully uses found and discarded objects such as old photographs, wallpapers, and textiles to create a story or feeling. Her Memory Trains use these and other images to explore the experiences of refugees affected by world events who are forced to carry their home with them. By elevating the ordinary to a higher status, the often overlooked achieves a new beauty and dignity. A graduate of Camberwell MA Printing, Edori Fertig has exhibited widely in the USA, UK and Europe and is a cofounder and exhibitor with Skip Sisters, a London based eco-arts collective.
