DescriptionDavid Mook studied MA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts. Through video, costume, performance, ceramics and storytelling he brings to life stories from his own life and that of his friends in the LGBTIQ+ community.

Through his art he encourages us to love and celebrate ourselves and others.
