About The Artist

15811.jpg

Joey Toogood (b. 2001, Kent) is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer based in New Malden, London, graduating with a BA in Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, in 2022. Toogood joined Wimbledon Art Studios in September 2024.

 

Toogood uses a combination of processes, mediums and materials to cast a light on things unseen; taking inspiration from political, personal and social issues, Toogood documents her background as a working-class, queer woman artist. Refusing to be limited to one way of working, the artist uses her art to share authentic experiences and endeavours to hold a space for women and members of the LGBTQ+ community to repurpose feelings of anger and repression.


Acknowledging her responsibility as an artist, Toogood aims to comment on contemporary society, capturing both shared and lived experiences. Aware that her creations will outlive her, Toogood considers the legacy of her works and strives to capture and preserve the world as she experiences it, re-imagining a future of liberation.

"I am deeply interested in the three archetypes of the woman: The Sexual Object, The Mother, and The Unknown (or No Man’s Land). Every woman is likely to experience one or more of these roles throughout her life. My work explores these outcomes, examining the influence of sexuality and sensuality in my personal experiences, the complexities of motherhood and childbirth, and the evolving possibilities of being a queer modern woman, where one's survival is not dependent on the presence of a man."
