Marf Summers is an artist, architect, and leatherworker whose work explores themes of trans identity, domesticity, and class, working in mediums including silicone, sandpaper, and hard candy, turning a subversive eye on the mundane through butch-camp sensibilities. Their current body of work ‘Standing Stone Butch’ collides the unknowable landscape of prehistory with 20th century constructs of queer identity, incorporating performances that reveal the urgent intersection of trans embodiment and manual craft practices. Marf’s work has been exhibited internationally and they are currently a member of the Conditions Studio Programme.
