About
Claudia Lehmann is a working-class artist, spatial practitioner, and researcher based between London and Cornwall, England. Her practice explores extractive landscapes, labour, and experimental photographic methods through feminist and ecological lenses. Her work aims to shed light on these often overlooked narratives through entanglements of multidisciplinary channels, including photography, print, publication, sound, video, performance and drawing. Growing up in Penwith, Cornwall, she developed a deep connection to a landscape marked by mining histories, neolithic structures, and industrial remnants. Her work investigates how stratified histories shape our understanding of space and memory, creating site-specific artworks and collaborative storytelling projects with sentient and non-sentient ecological actors.
Her work has been exhibited across Europe and the UK, including Salone Del Mobile (2025), Mary’s House (2024) and Southwark Park Galleries (2020). In addition to exhibitions, Claudia has presented her work at Collaborations Afield, Mahindra Humanities Center, Harvard University, discussing her project metallophyte bal maiden: feminist reclamations of extractive sites through photochemical alchemy (2025), and has earned recognition including the Cedric Morris Foundation Travel Award (2021) to conduct fieldwork in Newfoundland. Claudia’s work is part of the University of the Arts London collection and private collections internationally.
