Steve Lovett is an artist and educator working in print education and research at Elam, University of Auckland. His work is archiving images and stories. In these photo-based collages and prints, Lovett is concerned with exploring social, historical representations of queerness and memory. Lovett redeploys historical ephemera from queer subcultures and family narratives to examine loss, ecstasy, and humour, the forces that shape us. These works are selected from his ongoing drawing practice, where Lovett constructs collages, digital prints, and silkscreened paintings.
