Thea Crawford
she/they
Thea Crawford is an artist based in Glasgow, UK. Working across painting, digital collage and sculpture, her practice explores how bodies are constructed, circulated and consumed through digital image culture. Drawing on found imagery and self-sourced material, she constructs composite figures that examine queer desire, fat visibility and the body as an unstable image. Through processes of fragmentation, recombination and translation, her work considers how identity is continually assembled through acts of looking, image circulation and self-construction, occupying the space between attraction and discomfort, visibility and otherness.
what does still here mean to you?
Still Here speaks to the fragile space between being seen and being consumed. For queer bodies, visibility can offer recognition, community and affirmation, but it can also make us vulnerable to fetishisation, scrutiny and violence. Existing within that tension is, in itself, an act of persistence.
