Fat Loves Art - Tess McNamara

Tess McNamara studied Visual Art at Curtin University in Perth, leading her to develop a diverse art practise including included film, fashion, sculpture and painting. All of this alongside a hedonistic lifestyle including go-go dancing, superstar lesbian mud wrestling, drag king shows and being a member of the band Silkie Krusher and the Sex. With solo works and a residency at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, McNamara's work has come full circle, returning to pieces that concentrate on drawing and language.
