Ty Locke
Bio
Ty Locke’s recent work deals with the idea of domestic breakdown. Responding to his relationship with growing up in dysfunctional spaces.
Ty's works reflect on his own childhood as one of 7 siblings growing up in working class Kent and coming to terms with that now as an adult. In some cases references to sexuality and drag represent specific nuances of that experience. Works often have a dark humour and are preoccupied with transforming useful domestic objects, rendering them useless in the conventional sense through processes which are incredibly labour intensive and tragicomic. The masochistic processes involved in filling all holes in a colander with circles of plastic removed from a nearby kettle, covering an entire fridge freezer in hundreds of fridge magnets of his late father holding him as a baby or meticulously fabricating net curtains from hundreds of Rizla Papers, become a sort of therapy for Locke. Talking about dysfunction by causing dysfunction.
