Studs! Hell Bent for Leather
Video, 19:37mins, 2019
Currently in Alan Kane’s 4 Bed Detached Home of Metal, 22 June - 1 September 2019, New Art Gallery Walsall
Commissioned by New Art Gallery Walsall and Home of Metal, a cultural project which looks at the origins of Heavy Metal in the Midlands.
The video performs a psychogeographical reading into the links between the historic leather trade in Walsall, local band Judas Priest, who introduced the leather look to heavy metal, and queer leather culture.
Thanks to all the fans and locals who were willing to be interviewed for the film.
