TRADE-MARKED
My name is Trade Page and I am a queer multidisciplinary artist. Since graduating with a degree in illustration my main focus has been tattooing. I see it as an incredibly enriching, unique medium through which I can transform skin into a living tapestry of stories, identities, and personal symbolism. Each piece I create is an intimate collaboration, a dialogue between myself and the individual, where we explore their narrative and bring it to life through art.
Beyond the skin, I find immense joy in decorating clothes and crafting unique pieces that echo the personal and the tactile. Crochet allows me to weave together threads of tradition and modernity, creating garments and accessories that are as intricate as they are meaningful. Printmaking, both mono and lino, offers a tactile connection to my work, where the pressure of the press and the texture of the inked surface contribute to the final piece's character.
Doing things non-digitally has always been a key pillar in my practice as I am a very tactile, analog worker. The physicality between me and my work, the literal connection of my skin and hands to all my work is part of the creative magic that drives me.
