About the Tutor: Layla Lock’s work is born out of a obsession with weaponry. She explores the human attraction to weaponry and how sometimes it can be exploited, while also reflecting on her own naive view of weaponry, her most violent experience with a weapon is chopping wood. Her studio practice involves creating fantasy objects of violence and studying the reactions they provoke in an audiences. Link to her website https://laylasimnerlock.cargo.site/ .
