AA2A Resident Artist

Grime

Schemes: /

Grime graduated from The Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, in 2020 and is currently based in the East Midlands. Their work focuses on the reinterpretation of working class and magical histories, posing questions around the hierarchies within social structures and how the queer body sits within (or against) them. Drawing upon personal symbols and traditional folklore, their work seeks to transform the queer body through grotesque and often tragic performances, drawings, textiles and sculpture, all informed by their own experiences with homelessness and alienation within upper class institutions. Grime aims to capture the space between the poetic and the pathetic, presenting images of figures and figurations that treat materiality and process as important as the final outcome itself. Grime works between the poetic and the pathetic, creating drawings, sculpture, installations and performances around magical and working-class histories. Their practice poses questions on how the queer body sits within (or against) social structures of control and upper-class institutions, using a personal symbology inspired by British folklore motifs. On AA2A Grime will create a body of print and performance work, as well as researching local history and working class radical groups. They will collaborate with staff and students, putting on collaborative pop-up shows and giving tutorials for individual students development and portfolios.
