Hayley Whelan is a Scottish artist and curator based in Dundee. In 2015, she graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design with an honours degree in Fine Art, and in 2016 she obtained her masters degree in Art, Society and Publics.
Over the years, she has developed a repetitive, ritual-like practice involving walking and film photography. These walks serve as the basis for research and interests in architecture, cities, public spaces, non-places, the spaces in-between and the interactions that occur within them.
Working across various mediums such as printmaking, photography, collage, writing, drawing and sculpture, her most recent work explores themes of gender and place. Under the guise of ‘The Walk Collector’, she has curated a collection of walks that focuses her practice-led research on exploring the relationship with walking in public spaces.
