Walmsley’s work offers a new approach to the sculptural female nude. Her emotive sculptures gracefully bear the weight of their experience as they communicate with each other and their viewers. Through these sculptures, she aims to represent women, by women, in the way they would like to be represented. She creates her figurative sculptures in the mediums of bronze, glass and resin.

Through the body language and essence of her sculptures combined with the mediums in which they are created, she aims to visually portray absence and presence using the body as an allegory. This is set within a narrative of personal memory. Walmsley’s work also addresses the ways in which the female body has been voyeuristically represented in art and aims to reclaim the female nude, through representations of ‘naked nudes’ and honest portraits by a female artist. These portraits aim to honour and celebrate the power, strength and beauty of women and represent their intersectional identities.
