Bethany Dallas

Bethany Dallas is a multidisciplinary artist based in the North East. She graduated with first-class honours in Fine Art at The University of Sunderland in 2025 and hopes to continue her studies on the Visual Practice MA course later this year. Over the past two years, Dallas has focused on creating a concise visual identity between herself and her work, blurring the lines between practice and person. In 2024, her short film ‘Back and Forth’ was exhibited in the Baltic Open Submission in association with Fenwick.

Recently, Bethany Dallas has been experimenting with fabric-based sculpture. Using traditional women’s crafts like embroidery, crochet and sewing juxtaposed with more masculine industries like tech. As a working-class, fat woman, she consistently draws from her lived experience to inform her work, usually exploring themes of identity. She believes that art can never be truly apolitical, and her practice is rooted in the idea that representation in art for marginalised people is vital. This influenced her interest in women’s craft and how craft interacts with contemporary art. Her work is deeply personal, yet no experience is completely unique, and it is important to her that people feel seen and validated within each piece.
