Hear Ye Hear Ye! Confess thy gay sins to Little Lu Hear Ye Hear Ye! Confess thy gay sins to Little Lu and be welcomed with gracious arms!

Having a bit of fun with my project, looking into queer antagonism and the current rise of Christian nationalism. I want to celebrate queer identity and have a bit of fun while memorialising the ephemeral nature of queer experience.

This piece is not intended to be against Christianity/religion as a whole but rather to celebrate identity and take power away from the use of religious text to oppress marginalized groups with a bit of tounge in cheek puppetry 😄. I am all for the spread of unconditional respect and kindness through religion, just not when it becomes discriminatory.

I'm currently in the process of painstakingly letterpressing confessions I received anonymously into an art book/zine. Definitely good fun and worth it to memorialise and celebrate the stories that I have been trusted with. Many thanks to everyone who was forgiven of their woes by little Lu last semester 🙏

"Don't Make Me Your Canary" was exhibited as part "Don't Make Me Your Canary" was exhibited as part of the "Presence" exhibition at this year's Norwich Pride! Such a wonderful place to be and fabulous to see so many queer local artists all in one place. Very touching to have been part of.

The exhibition focused on community, exemplifying the importance of queer spaces and the need for collectivity and unity, banding together to make our voices heard and continue the fight for equality.

Many thanks to Norwich Pride, Norwich Queerfest, the Assembly House and the wonderful Rachel for bringing this exhibition to life, I'm so pleased to have been part of it.

Mandatory stand Infront of the painting photo included 🤝
