Marf Summers (b.1991) is an artist and architect whose work is primarily sculptural and performance based. Their current body of work uses neolithic pre-history as portal to explore contemporary trans experience within a deep-time landscape. Their sculptural work is site-specific, using vernacular architectural ‘failures’ as sculptural methods to conjure up pictographic bodies and symbols that recall chalk hill figures, ancient cave art and late 20th century graphic languages. Past performances have celebrated the ancient craft of flint knapping, with the artist home cooking 4kg boulders from sugar, which are then knapped into sharp tools, and eaten.
