Candice Tripp's own biog is far better than anything we could have ever written so we'll leave it to her.....

"Having been born a man, Candice left her native South Africa in 2004 to settle (reinvented) in London.

The 23 year old international minger and spoon designer is a self-taught artist who works manly in finger paints. At the age of 10 she completed her first project: a lunar refugee centre constructed entirely of wattle and daub. The piece, entitled "Mommy, my brain hurts", won her acclaim, though she withdrew entirely from the arts scene for five years after the death of Diana, Princess of Hearts.

Her early talent was spotted by Rolf Harris and cultivated in a home for orphaned wolves. Her images seek to capture the unity in ideologies between Star Trek's Spock and the modern musical philosopher, Enya.

Candice served 3 years in jail as a result of her groundbreaking installation, "dead kids".

*Liar. 23 years of age. Has exhibited in LA, London, Newcastle, Vienna and Berlin. Currently resides in Newcastle upon Tyne."
