JOE HESKETH

Joe Hesketh explores a vivid depiction of the lawless territory that occupies the – often convoluted – reality of what it means to be human, capturing an apocalyptic cynicism that seems to be inextricably bound to life as a woman in the 21st century.

With themes of transgression and the grotesque pervading her work, ‘Monster’ is a search for meaning in a world full of ‘ism’s’. Hesketh’s work probes and pivots between sex, life and death and humour, tragedy and beauty that endures amidst the chaos of our world, saturated with a myriad of manmade horrors and injustices.
