Pennie Key

Pennie Key is a London based artist. Her work incorporates visual, performative and autobiographical elements. She is interested in sexuality, relationships, gender issues, power dynamics, and her work expands across a variety of mediums. Currently, her starting point is her various identities (a queer, young woman, a middle class daughter, a Mixed Martial Artist in the very heteronormative, male environment of the gym and a sex worker engaging in fetish wrestling and domination) and her point of focus is how the aforementioned identities are contextualized and shifted in the various spaces that she inhabits.
