Trespassers Welcome

Overview

Brisbane artist Timothy L is inviting you into the world of outsiders, the fringe dwellers and those who live on the edge.

These are the lives little known to us that exist in ‘the middle’, these are stories of those who live in worlds that are unknown, out of bounds or forgotten. Stories of people who dwell behind locked doors, in darkened subway tunnels, in drains and alleyways.

Using photography, visual artworks and the written word, artist Timothy L has captured the stories of those lesser known. The outsider stories Timothy has captured include those of DIY artists, skateboarders, birdwatchers, train spotters, squatters and freight hoppers, asking audiences to ponder ‘the norm’, and the way in which we define our existence. Timothy asks viewers to explore notions of space and place - and the function of them - to ask what makes certain people outsiders and others not.

Originally from Melbourne, Timothy L has written and photographed for a range of diverse publications, he has also painted schools in Cambodia, squatted in Barcelona and recently painted for Brisbane’s Flipside Circus and as part of the Valley Fiesta.
