Exhibition Catalogue
21 June – 22 July, 2023.

Kieran Butler’s debut at Annandale Galleries takes the form of a heartening celebration, tempered with earnest revelations and messages that inspires quiet contemplation.

Kieran’s practice spans across fashion, design, performance, photography, text and textiles, examining intersections of photography, environmentalism and patchwork techniques within an ace-enby-trans framework. Their work reflects on themes of queer identity and familial histories, accompanied by experiences of intimacy, vulnerability, self-awareness, love, desire and grief. Kieran contributes to the growing literature and visual history on ace-enby-trans lived experiences - resources that were not readily accessible to them as a young person.
