I seek to reanimate queer histories through my artistic practice. Using painting and installation queer histories are reactivated through processes that bring together existing archival materials and auto-fictional elements. Through my work I attempt to enmesh remnants of the autobiographical with archival relics to inform new understandings of queer histories. I Frankenstein together queer, Scottish, and personal histories into congealed fragments. This is funnelled through the genre of horror as a strategy to challenge misrepresentation of the monstrous queer, and to ultimately surface the underlying queer intimacy. The work critiques the neglect of queer ephemera in institutional collections.
