San Mei Gallery is pleased to present two readings by artist and writer Frances Whorrall-Campbell, Three Sisters and Stone Butch Redux.

Three Sisters is a voice unfolding. An alternative mythos of creation, springing forth from a queer numerology, is presented via an investigation into the fundamental instability of the ‘third’ in a world more comfortable with binaries and couples.

Contrary to this fluidity, Stone Butch Redux, takes the form of a stuttering incantation that can never name its object. The artist’s voice skips and jumps, like a bad tape or someone pressing fast-forward. Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues is reduced to a kind of psychedelic Freudianism, where uncertainty meets urgency.

Frances Whorrall-Campbell is an artist, writer, and archivist. Their critical writing has appeared in magazines such as Art Monthly, Art-Agenda, and their creative work has been published in anthologies by Pilot Press, Protoype Press and Ugly Duckling Presse. They are the guest editor and curator of Conversations Across Place, a writers’ and artists’ workshop promoting queer and decolonial approaches to landscape. In 2020 Frances was a resident on Wysing Art Centre's AMPlify programme and they are currently a Research Associate at the Centre for Contemporary Art Derry~Londonderry.
