Moose Azim
Moose’s practice focuses on elements of light and healing within the imagined and real relationships that continue in the space of grief and continued life. She currently uses personal archives and items left by both her parents to create her work.
Moose’s heritage is half Indian and half Scottish, and was raised mostly in London with a 2 year emigration to Bangladesh. After attending a “failing” school in West London she went on to study Art Foundation, before working as a photographer’s assistant, and becoming a photographer in her own right.
During motherhood Moose returned to her art practice with an interest in exploring the truth of memory and identity. Subsequently following the sudden death of her own mother she produced ‘My Mum's Belongings’, a series of photos questioning assumptions about the possessions people leave behind and what these items communicate to others.
Moose also facilitates her own photography workshops which use mindfulness as an anchor from which to explore creativity.
Her work has been shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, RPS Hundred Heroines London, Blackpool, Doncaster, Lucy Bell Gallery Lockdown Exhibition 2020, Covid Online United Art Gallery Germany, Portobello Wall, Art Commission in London, and Pallant House Chichester.
