​Kim Thornton uses humour and rebellion to explore contemporary issues, the politics of being female and stereotypical roles and their value. She creates surprise narratives using a multidisciplinary practice encompassing making (using domestic materials), photography, film, performance and installation.

Drawing on memories, anecdotes, observation and her own lived experience she subverts everyday tasks to create unexpected narratives.  With process at the heart of her practice she fashions costumes from household materials like dusters, dishcloths and scourers to transform these familiar objects into props for her playful and often unsettling scenarios.
