I’m Gem, a queer visual artist from Essex, working in London. I make work about devotion, and the various ways it shows up in my life. I’ve always said my mum taught me about religion when she raised me Catholic, and my dad taught me about faith when he raised me an Arsenal fan. I am interested in the intersections of Faith and my identity, being someone who was raised Catholic, my practice is somewhere that I process and digest my upbringing and what it has meant for me as a queer person, the good the bad and the ugly.
