Queen

Synopsis

A bowling alley, a gallery, a studio, a pregnancy and a pop song. Kathryn Elkin tackles, with her usual sense of humour, issues around labour, creation, biography, being an artist and the transforming pregnant body. QUEEN was conceived and shot during the artist’s pregnancy and first months of parenthood.
