POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with one of the graduating Level 6 Fine Art students, Henrietta Gordon, to photograph her final pieces for the degree show. These photos consist of her collection of clown suits that Hen made herself for her and her partner Lesley, each complimenting the other in the pair. #photography #photographer #wlvuni #wlvphoto #wlvcreativeindustries #clown

Henrietta 💬

I’m Henrietta Gordon I use She/Her pronouns, I’m an interdisciplinary multimedia artist making work in response to performed/performative identities, from the perspective of my own gender presentation, and heritage, both ethnic and cultural.

Through story-telling and narrative-focused character work, I hold space and explore ideas of Presentational identity, lived experience and narratives around hierarchy, which helps drive my research and the development of my practice.

Currently, I am exploring the figure of the clown and clown suits as a means to distance performed gender and, instead, display and perform visual explorations of individual identities, such as my own as a Trans-Feminine person. I’ve been very keen on costuming and the idea of furthering my project by exploring play within costumes.

I am interested in the relationship between the costume and the wearer and how this may connect to a sense of authentic identity through performing for each other and for the self, bringing the audience in alongside them. I’ve recently begun looking through my childhood clothing as a new material to build from in terms of reflection and fabric, as well as other found materials, and printmaking my own textiles.
