Harriet Rose Morley (1994) is an Artist, Researcher and Initiator from the UK. She has lived in the Netherlands since 2018, and previously in Glasgow, Scotland.

Her practice, while focusing on the gender and labour politics of technical skill development within Art, Design and Architecture, ties itself intrinsically together by looking at the working conditions of cultural and technical practitioners. The current iteration of this ongoing research titled, ‘Hard Work, Soft Work’, not only explores “Hard Work”; referring to the “hard”, technical skills both taught and exchanged during these processes of learning, but also thinks about “Soft Work”, referring to the often less valued, less acknowledged and rarely seen “soft” skills of communication, organisation, mediation and solidarity– skills that are proven integral to working collectively. Since graduating her BA in 2016 at the Glasgow School of Art, and her MA in the Netherlands, she has taken on key projects which explore uses of materials, as well as combine material and collaborative practices.

In the past she has worked closely with different practitioners from disciplines of Architecture, Craft and design as well as traditional trades such as blacksmithing. She has guest taught on MA’s and BA’s courses across the UK and Netherlands, as well as ran workshops with various organisations and institutions. From 2023 till 2025 she was the Co-Director of Platform BK. In 2025 she will be a Tech Fellow at the Rijks Akademie in Amsterdam and the perminantly practicing resident at Kunsthal Gent.
