ABOUT:

I am a multimedia artist, I focus on film, illustration and writing. The focus of my work varies on the topics I research, but generally I will seek to discuss politics through the body and anthropomorphism.
I use queer forms of humour such as camp performance as it can lend itself to communicating freely about the morbid and the painful. A quote I often think about with my work is from Heather Love’s ‘Feeling Backwards’ that references camp as a “tender concern for outmoded elements”, which also feeds back into my style of production. This also plays into the alienation of growing up working class, embracing my thoughts that are unclassy and uncultured becomes a way of unburdening the shame. Ultimately my goal with my writing is to consider the reality of having a body that is governed by capitalism and heteronormativity, but a body that will survive the impossible.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
