Artist Statement

Artemis Hatfield is a multidisciplinary artist working in the United Kingdom. She has a conceptual practice with a post-medium approach to the way they create their artworks. Hatfield’s work is informed by her experiences as a queer and trans person, and she aims to help inform audiences about various facets of queerness, from the personal to political. 

Through her recent projects, “The Transgender Puppet Variety Show”, “The dove returned with a knife instead.” and “Rough Surf / Soft Fabric,” Hatfield explores and examines different elements of queer and transgender experiences. Hatfield’s accessible approach to their work allows for people who are less knowledgeable and experienced with these topics to engage and learn from it, as well as still being able to relate to the artwork. They are inspired by both current and historical activist movements, and subscribe to an intersectional approach to activism and the fight for equality. 

Hatfield also works in education part time, is a freelance designer, and runs independent arts press Delos Publishing alongside her practice.

‘Queerness’ documents a snapshot into the diverse normality of queer people’s lives. 

Shot digitally and developed with the analogue cyanotype process, each print is unique, messy, a tad unorthodox, and reflective of the person it depicts, without relying on extreme detail and digital responsiveness. 
Each person has been photographed on a walk through urban, suburban, or natural landscapes with Hatfield - whether waiting for the bus or basking in the sun shining on a flowery field, the project shows queer people not as a monolith, not as a stereotype, not as a mystery, but as people whose lives are about as normal as anyone else’s, whatever that may mean to you.
