Stuart Middleton works across a wide range of media. He brings a distinct poetic and imaginative sensibility to diverse subjects, often returning to images of the organic body put through the machinery of standardization. Centered on personal experience as well as observations of everyday life, his work draws patterns of connection between deceptively simple sources.

Middleton’s immersive installations are often pared down to an extreme, balancing contrasting forces: architectural engineering, organic matter, traditional artistic media, industrial manufacturing methods, restoration techniques, distorted audio recordings, waste and found material. Writing is an important part of his work, and a range of creative and accessible texts exist alongside many of his projects.
