Owning Identity
23 Jan - 28 Feb 2026
fountain arts is chuffed to host ‘Owning Identity’ the first solo exhibition by Sarah Felis.
Through the lens of psychology and sociology, Sarah spotlights queer identity as a renewed backlash threatens hard-earned gains for the community. Using digital photography they and a variety of models have created bold, colourful portraits which ask us to consider the ways in which our own identity has many parts that come together to create a complex web of what it means to be human.
Each photoshoot is an opportunity to explore the identities we choose and the identities chosen for us, creating a challenging series affirming that sex is not equivalent to gender. Placing both masculine and feminine side by side, they achieved this by playing with gender expression, particularly for the non-binary models.
Please note that some works include partial nudity.
