From Seven Sisters:

“Emily Peacock’s solo show Bruiser spans the artist’s raw, intimate oeuvre, featuring recent photographic work, a 20-year self-portrait retrospective, and two new sculptures.

The work in Bruiser is inextricable from Peacock’s unique and wide-ranging background. As an artist, educator, and stand-up comedian, Peacock has pushed the boundaries of multiple media for decades while bringing crucial conversations about mental health, the body, and family to the fore. She combines these pressing topics with skillful investigations of her chosen media.
