Hermione Wiltshire

Hermione Wiltshire (born 17 April 1963 in London) is an English sculptor and photographer.

Wiltshire studied at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and the Chelsea School of Art, completing her education in 1987.[1] In 1992, she was artist in residence at the Tate Liverpool.[2] She was formerly senior lecturer in photography at the Royal College of Art (2008) and acting head of the photography programme (2011–12), and is currently a senior tutor there.[3][4]

Wiltshire's work treats the photograph as a sculptural object and approaches issues in sexuality, including pornography, the male gaze, and women's self-image, from a feminist perspective.[1][2][3]
