George Storm Fletcher (b.1997) is a performance artist and Menace. Originally from Ely, in the fens of East Anglia; they have lived and worked in Leeds for six years.

They are at their best when being outrageously queer, playful and heartfelt. In recent years their work has manifested as a series of text-based architectural interventions, with an immediate, DIY aesthetic. 

Fletcher uses found objects, physical and immaterial, appropriating them for new compositions. Their distinctive lettering offers a new ‘voice’ for objects, reclaiming and reappropriating commonplace imagery to make a statement on the ‘now.’ Grounded in a sense of Britain’s shifting identity and blurred nostalgia, their work plays with informal expressions and slang, memory and storytelling, through a playful and empathic lens.

For their Master’s show presentation they have created a series of works surrounding the scene of ‘accidents’.
