Grime (b.1997) graduated from The Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, in 2020 and is currently based in the East Midlands. Their work focuses on the reinterpretation of working class and magical histories, posing questions around the hierarchies within social structures and how the queer body sits within (or against) them. Drawing upon personal symbols and traditional folklore, their work seeks to transform the queer body through grotesque and often tragic performances, drawings, textiles and sculpture, all informed by their own experiences with homelessness and alienation within upper class institutions. Grime aims to capture the space between the poetic and the pathetic, presenting images that treat materiality and process as important as the final outcome itself.
