Queering the fantastical.

“My creatures offer me a safe space to explore my own magical qualities.” —Artist and designer @__tegdirb__ (Teg Barone)

Teg’s art practice and world-building centers around their original creatures and is grounded in the intersection of hard and soft materials and emotional well-being — and moves between mediums and dimensions to bridge fashion and sculpture through fantasy.

“My work is an escapism for me, a place to process and heal trauma, and discover more about myself. My hand-sewing practice is incredibly intensive and time-consuming. This time creates space to sit with my emotions and experiences and convey them through the piece.

I was traditionally trained in fashion, textiles, sculpture and illustration. The more processes and ways of making I explored, the more interest I had in combining mediums together. In parallel to learning these new skills, I was also growing immensely as an individual, discovering my queer identity, aesthetics and building my world to explore.

I am ultimately just trying to create a world that anyone is able to connect to. I am happiest when someone can look at my work and feel a sense of belonging.”
