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.

The Artist is a Fool
with Molly Harris

Medium:
Photography, Documentary of Performance
 Date:
2023
Performance Art by
Molly Harris
Photography & Stop Motion by
Artemis Hatfield Photographic documentation of Harris’ performance artwork, ‘The Artist is a Fool’. 

About the piece, Harris states, “This is a performance that highlights the fact that there's not much difference [between] being a clown or an artist, both play a role and perform how the context expects them to.” Equally, Hatfield continues this role from behind the camera in capturing this erratic and frantic performance.  Hatfield’s documentation of the performance takes the perspective of the audience, alternating between wide shots of the scene and focussing on smaller details, following the action as any viewer might turn their heads. 

The muted colour palette and smattering of greyscale images may seem a far cry from a clown’s colour palette, but this has been used to draw highlight to the intentional actions within the performance, over the circumstantial detail around it.
