Solo Exhibition at The Outsiders Gallery - Dalston from 7th -14th March 2025. This show was the culmination of around 5 years of exploration with textiles as way to create tangible/touchable heirlooms for queer experiences and families.
The title of the show comes from a misremembered phrase of a patron at the ‘Caravan Club’ a bar in London only open for six weeks in 1934 that was described by the authorities as “absolutely a sink of iniquity’ that was ‘only frequented by sexual perverts, lesbians and sodomites”. This phrase which I encountered in, ‘Gay Bar’ (2021) by Jeremy Atherton Lin, exemplifies the inherent transience of attempts to archive the power and flaws of queer clubbing. This exhibition is an alternate archive.
