Biography

Heya, I am Liam Mackenzie, and I am a multidisciplinary artist who creates using photography, videography, fashion, drag, and physical fabrication. The frequent elements that appear in my work are camp, maximalism, nature, humour, and decay; there is nothing subtle about my work. The two main motifs that I tend to use explores the preservation and celebration of queerness and disability and the cultural relationship between bodies and sex. I am drawn to strong graphic elements, flamboyancy, and eccentricity.

Liam has a diploma in Photographic Technology (2017) and is completing my BFA in New Media with a minor in Disability Studies (2025.) My work has been showcased in various publications and exhibitions in Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and London, England. One of my proudest accomplishments is winning the LGBTQ+ Special Interest Winner for Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward Competition in 2019.

Currently in Toronto.
