Lois Tierney

About

OUTPUT is excited to invite Lois Tierney into the gallery for their first solo exhibition. Tierney is a freelance illustrator from and based in Liverpool whose work often takes the subject of intersectional activism, supporting different communities in LGBTQ+ and disabled rights.

In this exhibition, titled ‘Spectrum,’ the artist presents portraits of autistic people, including a self-portrait of the artist themselves. 'Spectrum’ is an ongoing body of work that aims to bring people together and start a conversation between people with autism and allies. ‘What advice would you give on coping with autism? And what makes a good autism ally?' There is space in the show where visitors can contribute their thoughts, which will be gathered and formulated into illustrations and a zine.

Tierney graduated from LJMU BA Illustration in 2015, and has since been involved with projects during Light Night, ‘Coming Out’ at the Walker Art Gallery, as well as the group Artists Against Rampant Transphobia.
