GORK emerged after being stuck clutching a mask made from sad celery and a dipless ramekin. After whipping off the bowler hat of seriousness and 'look at me, I can do adulting and functiony stuff', they finally let go to their gukky, gooey, glumpy side and let their inner artist out.

Very little in this world is safe from being GORK'd as they use anything and everything to potentially spark creativity and play around with. GORK uses video, clay, found objects, writing, curtains (so many curtains), paint, zines,eggs, clowning, performance, furniture, ladles, blue balls (made from polystyrene, grow up folks!) food (so much food), metaphors, symbolism, pylons, among many, many other things and mediums to explore this planet, their own noggin and also to work through difficult emotions and past trauma.

They've had work shown in galleries in Wales and beyond including Oriel CARN, Oriel Myrddin, The Canopi and Circular Artspace in Bristol. They have performed in the streets of Cardiff handing out semi-burnt artificial flowers to passers-by in a cape made from bits of burnt curtain and toast.

There is still so much more to come!
