About Me

Gaynor: I grew up in the fallout of a radioactive chimney, Capper Pass, in a village called Welton, on the outskirts of Hull, East Yorkshire. The environmental damage caused by toxic, carcinogenic, and radioactive emissions was widespread. Delving into my inner life I create music and visual artworks rooted in my childhood haunts and formative experiences, which colour everything. My album A Child’s Rumour and the accompanying films explore and mythologise these experiences and the landscapes close to my heart. A song can be a gorgeous artefact, the perfect vessel to contain an experience. I hope viewers of my work are drawn into the imagery and encouraged to explore their own sensory responses—without being deliberately guided to any foregone conclusion of my own. Instead, I seek to open them up to the tangibility of their inner worlds. My photographic work documenting performance and portraiture allows me to support others in their creative expression, which is also important to me.
