Harvey Childs is a Welsh visual artist based in Swansea, UK. He is currently studying a BA (Hons) at the Swansea College of Art, graduating in 2025.
Diagnosed as autistic at 19 years-old, Childs has since dedicated his practice to an exploration of self-identity and a greater understanding of the neurodivergent state of being. Childs predominantly work experimental analogue and video-based processes. His primary study in “cymatics” - or sound visualisation - allows for the merge of observation and external sensory reception representation.
In the current era, where the autistic community is ostracised and used as pawns for conspiracy, a positive conversation around autistic acceptance and accommodation is more important than ever.
