Ty Locke – MA/MFA/PhD

Based in London

My work draws inspiration from a multitude of sources. My practice blends both accessibility and humor with a formal presentation and often explores deeper social commentary.

As a queer artist and practicing drag queen, my work often reflects my experiences in the queer community and the idea of subverting boundaries. I enjoy taking everyday objects and subverting their position and function to create these often labour-intensive sculptures that imbue mundane objects with personality and tension.

Since moving to London I have started making work that is more consciously and directly about my upbringing in Kent. These more personal sculptures carry a weight to them, and their pleasing and humorous presentation is juxtaposed with the emotional depth of the topics I鈥檓 exploring.
