Stephen Severn

Stephen Severn is an artist, educator, and set designer whose work examines human-material encounters at the intersection of Queer theory and phenomenology. Through practice-based exploration, they collaborate with objects, materials, and spaces to investigate shared participation in world-building. Their research aims to position Queer methodological approaches in visual art practice as emergent sites of Queer futurity. Stephen’s creative research frequently employs photography, video, sculpture, and installation, informed by their commercial experience as an art director and a set/prop/display designer for the photography, video, and retail industries.
