Ali Farrall is a queer cross-modal artist, she uses a variety of material and embodied practices to create work that explores the collective and communal experience. Through queering she invites cognitive and social elasticity into her art.
She combines mediums, modalities and ideas such as; painting, drawing, experiencing, moving, printing, installation, the found, words, and poetry to create. Her presentations often include performance, film, costume, body art, paintings, installations and prints.
Inspired by the teachings of her beloved community, she is interested in the parrels between the carnivalesque and queer culture, as she attempts to twist, obscure, question and mock all assumptions of systemic constructs. She blurs mental and physical boarders to bring her work closer to that which is found universally. She works both in the overly conceptual and the overly material, with an extravagant, baroque and messy aesthetic. Her work playfully questions old and new cultural beliefs, whilst opening a dialogue that attempts to connect and traverse individual and collective echo chambers. She works predominantly with collaborators and in collective art projects – her work is produced because of the entire community behind it.
