Artist Bio:
Artemis Hatfield is a multidisciplinary artist working in the United Kingdom. She has a conceptual practice with a post-medium approach to the way they create their artworks. Hatfield’s work is informed by her experiences as a queer and trans person, and she aims to help inform audiences about various facets of queerness, from the personal to political.
Through her recent projects, “The Transgender Puppet Variety Show”, “The dove returned with a knife instead.” and “Rough Surf / Soft Fabric,” Hatfield explores and examines different elements of queer and transgender experiences. Hatfield’s accessible approach to their work allows for people who are less knowledgeable and experienced with these topics to engage and learn from it, as well as still being able to relate to the artwork. They are inspired by both current and historical activist movements, and subscribe to an intersectional approach to activism and the fight for equality.
