Milly Aburrow (b. 2001, Chichester, UK) is a 2023 graduate of Bath Spa University with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. Her work employs a bold, playful stylisation with vibrant colours and exaggerated forms, transforming familiar everyday objects into humorous yet thought-provoking sculptures and installations. Inspired by food culture, consumerism, and personal experience, Aburrow creates uncanny simulations inspired by everyday experiences. She seeks to foster a sense of community, inviting audiences to engage with the artwork and immerse themselves in a space that evokes personal memories and reflections while gaining insight into the artist’s own life.

​

Her installations allow her to revisit lived experiences and reclaim agency as a creative practitioner. By stepping into a fictionalised service industry role blurring the boundaries between reality and performance, Aburrow explores the limitations and inaccessibility of certain professions within her personal life as a disabled artist, using these playful yet critical simulations to challenge societal perceptions and reimagine alternative narratives, and question the structures that dictate who is permitted to occupy specific roles in both artistic and professional spaces.
