Daisy Silver

Daisy Silver is a PhD candidate in the Department of History of Art at University College London. She holds an MA in History of Art from UCL and an MA (Hons) Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh. Her doctoral research is focused on contemporary art that addresses the integration of pre-Columbian and European modernist design within the urban landscapes of Mexico and California. This analysis intends to contribute both a more global narrative of modernism that is contingent on local circumstances and reveal the influence of design histories in the cultural construction of place. Her thesis is supervised by Professor Briony Fer and funded by the UCL History of Art Department Bursary.
