"As Millenial Pink makes way for Gen Z Yellow, it watches from the shadows, evolving amid darkened grout and wafer thin false walls."
This installation is my space to reflect on the frustrations of renting whilst sharing my love for camp yet creepy characters. A mash-up of thoughts born through lockdown, too much social media and weird questions about climbing somebody else's ladder.
Paige likes to celebrate shared experiences within her work, both as an artist and as a producer based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Her own playful practice merges administration, internet humour and all things naff with video, performance and installation. Her work aims to connect people, be it through laughter, common ground, collective cringing or a shared surprise.
