Nose Gay 5 | Kavel Rafferty I Enamel on Postcard

£850.00

Enamel On Original Postcard,

Size: 40cm x 50cm

A self-taught, multidisciplinary artist working across collage, painting, and assemblage, Kavel explores the creative potential of found and appropriated materials, from vintage magazines and postcards to discarded printed ephemera. Her practice is rooted in a sustainable, frugal approach to making, revealing unexpected beauty within what is often overlooked or discarded. Subtly subversive, her work combines abstraction, redaction, and visual editing to construct new narratives around form, connection, femininity, and sapphic identity, often referencing the Japanese concept of ma (the relationship between negative and positive space). Embracing chance, imperfection, and the patina of time, she layers and reworks materials into dynamic compositions that feel both nostalgic and contemporary, transforming fragments into playful, considered explorations of order, chaos, and meaning.
