1st-Gen Scotstralian Clo Love is an emerging Meanjin (Brisbane) artist based in Kurilpa (West End). A self-taught late bloomer, they found their footing in creating oversized installations for @shandy.party queer dances, and have since continued to expand their practice through soft sculpture, indie theatre set design (@curtainworld.xyz), and computer graphics, creating interactive pieces that are as camp as they are off-putting. Giant purple vulvas and bundles of plush intestines are included in their – maybe too literal – body of work. Much like a New York rat, their art is very often born from what used materials are accessible to them at a given time, and they’ve been known to cut foam out of kerbside couches in order to avoid spending money. Sometimes they manage to turn the garbage they hoard into things that are quite nice to look at, but that don’t smell good. They are a proud and under-qualified member of @thestitcherycollective, and in August debuted their first work as a Real Artist at @goobexhibition, before kindly being asked to never do so again.
