About the artist

Roy Claire Potter is an artist writer who performs, exhibits and publishes.

Across their multidisciplinary practice – spanning experimental writing, vocal performance, drawing, sound art and installation – they build stories from fragmented, intense images depicting moving bodies, domestic scenes or architectural settings. An interest in communication constraints, subtext and narrative sequencing shapes this work, which often explores complex group dynamics or the aftermath of violent events, sometimes with a wilful humour. They frequently collaborate with musicians and sound artists for radio and festival contexts.

COMMS FAIL is an Unlimited Partner Award 2025 commission with Liverpool Biennial, made possible by Arts Council England. Research and development was generously supported by an artist residency award with Art Explora, Paris at Cite International des Arts.
