First Solo Show for ‘Queer Flower’ artist Kavel Rafferty
at White Conduit Project Gallery, London
Mixed-media artist Kavel Rafferty, who uses found materials to make her assemblaged and collaged artworks, has announced her first ever solo show - ‘Queer Flower’ - to take place in Islington, London at the White Conduit Project Gallery from July 20-25, 2021. The show’s artworks examine artistic tropes of flowers and floral still life, exploring ideas of remembrance, censorship and queerness - both in the modern LGBTQ+ community sense, as well as the original meaning of queerness as something out-of-the-ordinary or peculiar.
‘I subvert photographic copies of flowers and pornography, taken from found flower books and magazines, by redacting them with ink and collage’ Kavel Rafferty explained.
