Rhiannon Hunter is an artist, based London, UK.

Hunter engages 'noticing' and collage as methodologies for capturing fleeting interactions, joy, connectivity and wonder that generate associations across personal scales. Recent audio and film works include inviting groups to take part in recreational activities in a defunct commercial premises, working with a volunteer group engaged in land management in urban municipal parks, and an immersive soundscape of decomposing waste.
