GRACE SAINT
GRACE SAINT
Grace Saint is a multimedia artist navigating what religion means in the modern world. Their work explores and critiques religious iconography, the practice of confession, sacrifice, redemption and piety. There is also a strong theme of rituals around the life and death cycle that continues throughout their practice. Saint has a particular interest in what a 'religious experience' now looks or feels like to those who are deconstructing their faith and how the modern spiritual pick 'n' mix approach to religion bleeds into worship of fame and excess.
