Darcey Fleming's practice is inseparable from her life. She uses ‘basic’ often found materials and locations to create works that (mostly) don’t like to be categorized.

Fleming made her name using discarded baling twine, donated to her from farming communities. However, she is a multifaceted artist, working across photography, film, writing, drawing, and sculpture.
