From Cadavers to Collage and Experiment: A Werkstattwoche Lüben Live Talk with Damaris Athene
Update: 2025-09-05
Description
In this episode, I sit down at the Werkstattwoche Lüben with Damaris Athene, an artist whose work blurs the lines between body, material, and digital imagery. Based in London, Damaris has studied at Camberwell College of Arts, City & Guilds of London Art School, and the Royal College of Art – always pushing her practice into new territories.
We talk about:
- Why the body is central to her exploration – from medical fascination to societal pressures and posthuman perspectives.
- How she combines glass, textiles, photography, and digital collage into layered sculptural works.
- The role of accidents and material surprises in shaping her creative process.
- Her current projects at Werkstattwoche Lüben, including water-inspired photographic collages and experiments with light, texture, and layering.
- The challenges and freedoms of being a full-time artist today.
It’s a conversation about experimentation, vulnerability, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
👉 If you’ve ever wondered how failure can fuel creativity, this one’s for you.
