Statu(t)es #2, 2025
Homemade rotten blackberry ink
15cm x 10cm

Kate Sweeney

Statu(t)es #2 is part of an ongoing series that is a response to the growing legal and social animosity directed at LGBT+ families. Sweeney makes visible the ways lesbians and queer people produce babies and make families to affirm, celebrate, as well as defy attempts to deny this existence

I loved drawing these bees and mantises for this film commission focussing on research by Dr Vivek Nityananda and Dr Theo Robert @newcastleuni into the attention span of insects in the context of their changing habitats with @capapiecreative earlier this year.It also has a gorgeous soundtrack by the very talented @romayagnik
You can watch the full film at the link in my bio
.
I'm open for commissions too. Send me a sign if you might be interested 🔮

I'm going to hang some of my recent huge drawings done with Ouseburn blackberries and tributary water, bin-rescued tangerines and things that fall off other things. I'LL also be selling some small, scientishically accurate studies of how lesbians produce babies...
