Artist Biography:
A poet at their core, Venus Underhill is a multi disciplinary artist with a current fixation on thread bound zines and collage work as labours of love attune to the slow repetitions of learning to care for oneself. Utilizing creation as a form of transmutation to give their intense, often intangible emotions form; their work explores themes of alienation and identity as a performance through the lens of their experiences as an autistic, gendervague and mad mystic.
Originally from St.Catharines, Venus relocated to Hamilton in 2016 for a brief stint in film school, since dropping out they have expanded their practice studying at the prestigious former Shithouse, Bayfront park and most notably, their bedroom. Though they are currently lacking a website, they can be found overstimulated and trying their best tabling at monthly Art Crawls.
