Deft Touch (11) by JJ Guest
JJ Guest uses the visual language of football to tackle homophobia and prejudice in wider society. Through fractured sculptures and immersive installations lays bare the violence, hypocrisy and double standards that LGBTQIA+ people have to face. His work asks why men can touch on the pitch but not in the stands, why they are celebrated for doing things in stadiums that must otherwise be kept hidden and private.
