Artist Statement/ Biography

Jacq Bebb has a visual and textual practice that layers sculpture, photomontage and audio works in a rumination on desire through queer narratives and experiences. Their current work delves into theories of queer time, as counterpoint to chronological time. Drawing upon research and personal experience, they question the cultural implications of social norms and binary systems, particularly in relation to queer connectedness and history.
