Parma Ham
Parma Ham, a London based Artist has been consistently pushing boundaries which has become their raison d’être. While the old guards of Western culture buttress themselves with a heightened conservatism, the agender agitator has produced a unique artistic vision to challenge staid normative notions of gender, identity, and the body.

However Parma ham's Artistic existence abolishes this and successfully is powerful in each self titled role.

These new works, transforms in both light and day, representing both they Goth Subculture Ham heavily embodies, and individuals living within society today."- Sade English
