ARTIST
GERWYN DAVIES combines traditional costume making, studio staging and digital
interventions, the human figure is removed from conventional representation and
other selves are assembled. Bodies are adorned and choreographed for the lens,
their glistening, textured surfaces entice while their hefty costumes distort
and conceal. The double bind of a figure both conspicuous and nowhere to be
seen, hiding in plain sight, triggers the work’s investment in queering the act
of representation and renegotiating the terms of visibility. This age of
endless self-imaging, these works explore the potential for self-presentation
that emerge on the stage of the digital image. https://www.gerwyndavies.com/
