Ys Blue is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, practicing within the realms of object making, poetry, performance, and the expanded field of craft. Their practice is driven by a material obsession that aspires to undress taboos, interrogate subsumation, and resist commodification. Often working between the liturgical and the pornographic, Blue undoes the binds of function, discipline, and exchange. Blue completed a diploma in Art and Craft (Ceramics) from Hungry Creek Art and Craft School in 2017 and a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Sculpture) from AUT in 2020.
