Gareth Cutter

“The work is casual, sensuous, and erotic. It queers systems from the inside. It’s kind of like taking poppers: vaporous and heady, disorientating but pleasurable.”

Gareth Cutter is a multi-disciplinary artist working across music, writing and performance.

“I usually use voice, keyboard, guitar and other string instruments and arrange in Ableton, but I’ll experiment with anything I can get my hands on.”
