Esme Bull (b.2003) is an artist-curator working across installation, printmaking, video, text and sculpture. She graduated with a first class in BA Fine Art from the Liverpool School of Art and Design in 2025, and now lives and works in Stockport.
Through her work she investigates our increasingly intimate relationship with technology within our daily lives and creative practices. She engages with both developing technologies and longstanding handmade processes to consider how machines may threaten, challenge and redefine the role of the artist. Within her recent installation Hand of God (2025) she combined handmade ceramics with 3D printing and artificial intelligence to challenge the capabilities of emerging technologies and complexities of authorship.
She often works from video stills, which she translates into large scale printed wallpapers.
