Statement:
Dexter Stokes-Mellor is a multimedia artist based in Glasgow. Their work focuses on the impact film, music and art has on our day to day life. Whether it be repurposing a song as if it were a found object, or re-editing a film to change the way it is viewed. Stokes-Mellor makes art that changes the way we engage with contemporary culture.
