In Close Proximity is a vessel in which to record and showcase the works of K Walker and their accompanying fashion brand. Walker (b.1997) combines the mediums of fashion, drawing, paint, performance, costume, poetry and sculpture. Channeling themes of queer bodies, fables, mythologies, intertwined with personal trauma, dysphoria, illness and the exploration of sensuality. 

​

Born in West Yorkshire, Walker studied a foundation course at Leeds Arts University in 2015 before going onto an BA degree in fashion design in London where they lived for 3 years. Returning to Yorkshire in 2019, Walker currently bases their practise at Fabrication2 located in Leeds city centre. 

​

Walker's most recent work aims to combine mediums of their practise to create art viewers can interact, escape and dream within. Their work often uses fantasy, nonsensical, humorous and grotesque imagery to personify themselves, their body, emotions and interactions with others.
