K8 Hardy Identity Art
K8 Hardy is a New York-based artist. Hardy is a founding member of the queer feminist journal and artist collective LTTR, and has directed music videos.
Hardy is most famous for fashion, but she also works through performance art, Video art and sculpture.
K8 Hardy has generally been described as a multidisciplinary artist with a punk DIY esthetic.
Whether or not the new work attests to a confluence of art and life or a fetishizing of personal style, there is a clear link between Hardy’s private dressing room and the gallery. The pivotal word describing her new self-portraits is “self.”
Embracing the ‘self’ and being yourself unapologetically is a sign of strength. It would be amazing to combine art and fashion
