Sam Dollimore, Some Orgasmic Moment, 2018, pen on paper, 40 x 28 cm

“With my art practice, I am always trying to free parts of myself (and by extension, all our human selves) that I've been taught subtly and/or overtly should stay small, restricted or hidden. Maybe they cause shame or anxiety, are considered ugly, or somehow undesirable to others. This most obviously applies to the physical body (which is where I started years ago), but I also do this with other aspects of the self—emotional, metaphysical, and spiritual even.⁠”
