Yasmin Watts is a British Indian artist based in London, working primarily in sculpture.

Her practice explores the relationship between the body, space, memory and belonging, drawing on her Zoroastrian background and diasporic experience.

Attentive to how we move through and experience the spaces around us, Watts explores the shifting relationship between body, space, light and form. Her sculptures bring figures into intimate environments where physical space can become a reflection of inner experience.

Each form is a hinge, a holding point, a question suspended in weight.

Her micro worlds bring together figures, enclosures, openings and surfaces, creating spaces that can suggest retreat, transition, connection or separation. Boundaries between figure and environment are often uncertain, allowing the physical and emotional to meet.

These forms do not declare. They hold. They linger. They pause.

Working through hand and digital processes, Watts allows the traces of making to remain present. Reclaimed materials carry histories of their own, while the hand leaves marks, joins, surfaces and imperfections that become part of the work.

Micro spaces. Not rooms. Not walls.
Creases. Corners. Edges. Surfaces. Pauses.

Rooted in experiences of living between cultures, her work considers how memory is carried through changing environments and how a sense of belonging can be formed, lost and reimagined.

The sculptures invite closeness rather than distance. They ask us to look, but also to sense the space around the figure and perhaps recognise something of our own experience within it.

Material has weight. It has temperature. It tells the truth.

The work begins with the body and extends into space.
