Artist Paul Harfleet's interest lies in the implications of identity, citizenship and its influence on the navigation and memory of the urban environment. He augments and re-contextualises various sites and objects by allocating them with new meaning or significance often through drawing, photography and intervention, from his ongoing Pansy Project which involves the artist planting pansies at the site of homophobic abuse to his current focus on masculinity, cultural homophobia and the nature of punishment.
Paul Harfleet is a London based artist who has exhibited worldwide; The Pansy Project has been included in various festivals from the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2007 to the Reykjavik Arts Festival in Iceland 2008. The Pansy Project Garden was a Gold Medal Winner and Best Conceptual Garden at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2010.
