The gallery will be presenting new work by Jerome at Cornershop (10-15 October 2023).
Jerome's practice uses play to explore conversations around the ambiguity of identity. He is drawn to the fluctuating intersections that inform and are informed by external relative values, which all equate to the complexity of the human experience. He enjoys playing with traditional and non-traditional mediums of expression, often working on several projects simultaneously that can connect, overlap, and disconnect at multiple points as he explores new subjectivities. For Jerome, the multi-layered concurrent way of working is a natural process, a metaphor not only for the multifaceted interests and sources of information that inform his thinking but a representation of the layered and interconnected culture he lives in and that informs his own identity.
