Perching Demon was first exhibited in April 2024 in Bat, Moon, Womb, Tump’s debut exhibition.
Tump (formed in 2024) is an ongoing collaboration between artists Alex Merry, Flora Wallace and Milligan Beaumont, formed as a means of connecting with the local landscape and of playful inquiry into the ancient and enigmatic megaliths of Gloucestershire and the South West.
Milligan Beaumont is a multidisciplinary artist, designer and stylist. Having studied fashion at Central Saint Martins she is now based in Stroud. Her work is inspired by ancient cultures, historical periods and a love of tiny creatures. Working across a broad variety of mediums, from hand embroidery to sculpture, she tells stories of imagined characters and personal experience. Milligan has become known for her maximalist and highly embellished style that permeates each medium she turns her hand to. Milligan’s work has been worn by the likes of Grayson Perry, Helena Bonham Carter and Lulu Guinness. Her entire graduate exhibition was acquired by Christina Aguilera and worn throughout her 2019 stadium tour. Milligan’s work is exhibited in Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk, the blockbuster touring exhibition that launched in 2020 at London’s V&A Museum and continues to tour to museums around the world.
