Abstract

​

Nostalgia in Harry Fraser’s work is envisaged through the references of early 2000s iconic childhood characters including Barbie, Teletubbies, Garfield, and Furbies explored through a queer perspective. Harry appropriates these instantly recognisable characters and recontextualises them through queer symbolism and queer political statements which in turn inspirits new queer narratives.

About

PAD (Perspective in Art & Design) is The Northern School of Art’s scholarly activity and research journal; a place for the publication of staff and student academic investigation. Covering issues as diverse as written and practice based research, PAD aims to bring to the fore new ideas, new approaches to existing debates, interpretations on written and visual practice, debates in art and design history, and issues of creative pedagogy. Our goal is to allow scholarly activity to be delivered through equality, where there is no hierarchy between the academic and the student, those with a record of publication, and those who will be shown here for the first time.
