Finley Gilzene is a Jamaican / English visual artist, born in Slough and living in South London. His work uses the alternative photography method of cyanotypes and focuses on conversations surrounding the black experience in Britain, such as integration, desire, belonging and the marginalisation that comes from these desires. His work has evolved into the world of moving image, through conversations with family, which has contributed to the devleopment of both his research methods and creative work.
