Manon Awst is a Welsh artist based in Caernarfon who makes sculptures and site-specific artworks woven with ecological narratives. The ways in which materials stick to and transform locations and communities is at the forefront of her creative research.

Her interdisciplinary approach is moulded by her academic studies in Architecture (Cambridge University), Artistic Research (Royal College of Art, London) and ten years of collaborative practice in Berlin as part of artist-duo Awst & Walther.

She was recently granted a Henry Moore Foundation Artist Award and is currently a Future Wales Fellow, as part of Arts Council Wales and Natural Resources Wales’ Creative Nature Programme.
