In Close Proximity is a vessel in which to record and showcase the works of K Walker. Walker (b.1997) combines the mediums of fashion, drawing, paint, performance, costume, poetry and sculpture. Their work focuses heavily on the themes of queerness, bodies, mythology, dysphoria, illness and sensuality. 

​

Born and raised in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Walker studied a foundation course at Leeds Arts University in 2015 before studying BA  fashion design in London, graduating in 2019. Walker is currently based at FiiK Studios in Leeds and is a founding member of the artist-led collective LAX.

​

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.
