Victoria Topping

Victoria Topping is an artist and illustrator working from one of our studios at Roseberry Road Studios. Victoria’s work hovers between the familiar and the otherworldly, shaped by folklore, spiritual cosmology, scratchy old soul 7-inch records, and the visual language of halfforgotten manuals and rituals.

She works across collage, drawing, painting, print and digital media, packing each artwork with symbolism to build densely layered surfaces that come together like the ingredients of a spell. Each piece begins with no fixed plan other than an intention to capture a particular spirit and transmit a specific energy. Her process, intuitive and occasionally unruly, is led more by spirit than by preconceived ideas to invite a reconnection with what is felt rather than seen.

GirlMoss The girl boss is dead, long live the girl moss! ‘The artworks in GirlMoss are a bold and graphic interpretation of reconnecting with nature in the local landscape. The paintings and collages tell the story of a year in which I retreated into the wild to listen, feel and absorb’.
