About Daisy Hvnter
Daisy Hvnter is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, installation, digital collage, and mural. Their practice centres on disability activism, sensory escapism, and cosmic world-building, often framed through public art and community projects.
Drawing on themes of disabled futurism and everyday folklore, Daisy creates accessible, sensory-rich works that invite audiences to pause, notice, and imagine otherworldly spaces.
Daisy’s latest project, Bone Idle, centres on slowness, humour, and resisting productivity culture. Through playful tools and experimental projects, it works to remove barriers for disabled artists and audiences while building creative spaces that are accessible, sensory-friendly, and unhurried.
Swatchlet continues these ideas and ethos, allowing for creative, experimental play.
