In there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see, Johnston has created a shrine to life as a queer, femme, chronically ill and “terminally online” woman. Using objects sourced from her explorations around Berlin since early April, objects brought from home, images created at glogauAIR and years ago, printed memes, and hand-made polymer clay figurines of the virgin mary, the artist explores questions around gender, femininity, sexuality, the internet, the body, identity, trauma, grief, iconography and more. - curator Suzy Royal
