Artist Statement
As an intermedia artist, London-Gray examines how we succeed and fail at living out the ideals of equality. Land use, discrimination, power dynamics, and fictional hyperbole fall within this purview. They make installations, videos, sculptures, books, zines, buttons, mail art, sound compositions, social exchanges, photos, drawings, walks, forts, and Kid-Billi forms of play. They have shared their work in exhibitions and public spaces throughout the United States and internationally.
