Early life and education
Early life and education

Career
Career
Hart's art has been exhibited both in traditional gallery spaces and unconventional spaces such as "a semi-derelict flat above an abandoned frame-maker's shop" in Folkestone, as part of the 2014 Folkestone Triennial. Her artwork addresses questions of social class, familial behaviour, and the connections between relatives. Hart's initial training was in photography, but she has gradually focused more and more on sculptures using ceramics. She has also evoked her own life in her art: Dirty Looks, a 2013 exhibit at London's Camden Arts Centre, incorporated references to a job she once had working at a call center. Upon winning the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2016, Hart embarked on a six-month-long residency in Italy, which was her first time spending more than three weeks outside of London. A book accompanying her exhibit Banger at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh included a short story by experimental fiction writer Ali Smith.
