Kim Thornton
Bell House hosted more than 30 artists invited to give their view on Green as “Green plays a huge part in our lives, representing nature, renewal and our environment”.
We particularly liked Kim Thornton’s work. Her practice combines the making and photography with wit and humour to disrupt stereotypes and to create surprise narratives.Through the study of domesticity and gender Thornton’s work plays with behavioural expectations and subverts every day tasks to suggest a secret life of make-believe and fantasy. the artwork above features the artist in a faux-fur Stole and head piece made of tampons…
Kims work draws on memories, anecdotes, observations and experience to explore everyday tasks. Using domestic materials she fashions costumes and transforms objects and uses them to stage unexpected scenes.
