Fountain's artistic practice explores themes of marginality and queerness. It often utilises methods historically associated with textiles in order to subvert traditional notions of gender and sexuality. With a swishy flick of the wrist, discarded objects and found textiles are often transformed into a powerful site of self creation: one which celebrates the unloved, the overlooked, and the forgotten. This 'crafty' approach to materials stems from growing up in a working class household where a 'make do and mend' mentality was a necessity.
