Stephen Garrett’s art sits at the intersection of queer and colonizing legacies and the physical paradigms of sexual power and gender. A practice such as this represents more than a reinterpretation of historic narratives; it serves as a testament to the transformative power that art possesses—by cultivating empathy and fostering a shared emotional journey that transcends temporal and spatial boundaries. Garrett finds profound inspiration in unravelling the intricate narratives of historical sites. His aim is to challenge conventional accounts through art and evoke a profound emotional resonance; delving into the raw human experience—allowing viewers deep connection with stories of the past. By reshaping and reimagining historical narratives, Garrett ignites a collective dialogue that highlights a distorted world view by making apparent alternate possibilities of being. Garrett is a critically awarded, reviewed, and acclaimed artist who has exhibited his art projects in Australia, Vietnam, China, Japan, USA, Italy, France, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
