Theadora Ballantyne-Way (1988) is an artist based in the UK, previously a VJ working in electronic club culture, alternative spaces which later informed her practice as an artist. Working in photomontage, print, video and painting B-Way is heavily influenced by the Surrealist movement and animism. She plays with scale creating new dystopias and meaning with everyday and symbolic objects. Her current work investigates the evocative Coco de Mer, a rare seed of a palm tree, native to the Seychelles and often explored in themes of mystery and transformation. B-Way's work has been widely exhibited in the UK, including the International Original Print Exhibition at Bankside Gallery, London, and the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, London, on several occasions. She has also exhibited in Kyoto, Japan with Goldsmiths University in 2019 and won first prize at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Print Prize in 2022. Her work has been included in publications including Printmaking Today and is held in several notable collections including the V&A Museum, London. Theadora is also the director of Argento Editions, a fine art studio where she works with internationally renowned artists to realise their printmaking ambitions.
