Whether through her art practice, books, exhibitions, broadcasting or lectures, Ferren explores how images and objects function in society and investigates how they convey meaning and operate within changing cultural contexts, with a particular interest in overlooked and under-loved subjects.

As an artist, Ferren’s approach is deeply intuitive and led by research, making, human connection, and experiential learning.

At its heart, her work asks how images and objects hold power to affirm, challenge, heal, catalyse, and connect us to something larger than ourselves.
