Adam Garratt is a queer working class artist whose practice has evolved around constraints of space, the use of material and repetitious making processes. Much of his work is made on reclaimed materials from building sites and is specifically made to expand into an installation when it is not neatly folded, stacked and rolled for storage in the garden shed. Conscious not to make extra waste, Adam chooses carefully which materials to make work with. They come with their own history of use and bare the marks of an embodied labour, often with holes, creases, tears, dirt and staines.

Adam is a full time museum worker and has a Masters degree in Contemporary Art Practice from the University of Plymouth graduating in 2019. Adam is also a member at the Double Elephant print studios in Exeter and a member of CAMP.
