Meet Joseph Wheeler
Joseph Wheeler – Artist
An amateur bodybuilder, Joseph is exploring cybernetics and pagan ritual through bodybuilding routine. Misunderstood by the bodybuilding establishment, Joseph is banned from competing due to his revolutionary inclusion of chaos magik and technology and has subsequently found himself in the Wrexham art scene.
After visiting a psychic at the Four Dogs pub, Joseph was informed that he is a descendant of Stretch Armstrong. Since consulting with the Coblynau, he has been working with photography, using outsorcery to conjure objects through commercial printing and international shipping. Most of the imagery used in Joseph’s work comes from a supernatural presence that communicates via email.
IKT delegates will meet Joseph when visiting PERICLO artist studios in Wrexham during IKT Congress 2023.
