Artist Statement
‘Growing a body’ is a selection of works over the past few years that reflect my journey exploring gender affirmation through illustrative means. With gender discussions taking continuously sour turns in society and media, these works show the whimsy of growing into your own and learning to love existing as a queer person.
About the artist
Eddie Normington (they/them) is an interdisciplinary artist living and making on Kaurna land in SA. They are inspired by all things colourful, sparkly, and love to explore queer concepts and theory through their work. Eddie won the Helpmann Academy People’s Choice Award (2024) for their Honours interactive illustrative work ‘Affirmation Avatars’ from their ‘Visualising Gender Euphoria’ series. Their work has also been shown in various exhibitions around Australia such as the Fringe award winning show This is all Human Made, Lethbridge 20000 and the Agendo Art Exhibition.
Outside of their regular practice you can find them working hard as a member of the Squish Squash team, helping to create and support a thriving illustration and animation community here in Australia.
