Blake Lawrence

Blake Lawrence is an interdisciplinary artist working across photography, drag, video, performance and ceremony. Drawing on the performative potential of materials, Lawrence works in entanglement with crude and camera-less photographic processes. They are devoted to relationship and responsibility beyond genealogy, absence and residue, drag, care, love, sex and pleasure in a practice-based research.

Borne from Yaegl land and waters in Northern NSW, Lawrence lives and works on Gadigal land. They completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Sydney College of the Arts, and subsequently Honours In Design (Photography) at the University of Technology Sydney. They have exhibited locally and interstate, at Firstdraft, Seventh Gallery, C3 Contemporary, The Walls and Verge. They have presented live work in Brisbane’s Spring Hill Reservoirs, the Art Gallery of NSW and Newcastle’s This Is Not Art and have performed drag at Club Kooky, The Bearded Tit, Bad Dog, Tropical Fruits, Falls Festival and more.
