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.

Exhibited at
Aberrations Collective, Bournemouth
Mental Health in Art, DCP, London This work addresses transphobia and other issues faced by trans people, many of which are commonly overlooked or misrepresented by the public, public figures, politicians and the media. 

In the accompanying booklet to the piece there are sourced statistics that evidence each claim made by the artist in the piece, showing that while it is an emotional, personal plea for change, it is also grounded in fact.
After having a transphobic slur shouted at Hatfield just outside their home from a passing car window, she was emotional, scared, and angry. They turned to art to process these emotions, sourcing this passenger-side car window mere hours after the event took place. 

Hatfield channelled their fear and anger into this prose placed on the glass, using this one incident of hate as a focal point to express and educate on a multitude of issues many transgender people live with each day.
