Drifters Archive

Degree Show 2024 - Stow College Glasgow August 23rd-29th

The queer archive is often full of holes, ephemera lost through institutional neglect. My ongoing project Drifters reanimates queer Scottish histories to develop an immersive experience. Layered, textural and wet, Drifters is a physical manifestation of a fictional archive of a 1970s queer Scottish horror fan who attempted to make his own horror film portraying the ghosts of gay cruising in Glasgow. Washed up, the archive is drenched in a slick glossy sheen with scripts, posters and storyboards found alongside collections of acquired horror, sci-fi and queer ephemera of the era.
