Pippa Garner (b. 1942; d. 2024) was a transdisciplinary artist. For more than five decades, she pushed against systems of consumerism, marketing, and waste, creating a dense body of work including drawing, performance, sculpture, video, and installation. Her uncompromising approach to life and practice allowed her to interact with the worlds of illustration, editorial, television, and art without ever quite becoming beholden to them.
