Reconstructing the body to communicate ‘new articulations of self’, Gerwyn Davies combines a few art forms from self-portraiture to costume making and performance. With an emphasis on hyper-real tableaus and the excess and artifice of a ‘camp’ aesthetic the artist experiments with the many ways in which we can represent ourselves to the world and at the same time imagine a new world order entirely.
