From an early age Bex Massey has been fascinated by graphic novels. This love for comics,artist books and pulp magazines started to manifest itself within her professional practice some nine years ago.  Since which point she started creating modern day scenarios for classical literature; such as Shakespeares 'Titus Andronicus' (exhibited in Newcastle and London) and Sartres 'Nausea' (exhibited in London and Sweden).
More recently the 'texts' that she has relied upon for the premise of her narrative have been Media based.  For some time Bex has struggled with the way in which Broadsheets and 'glossy magazines' relay information and inturn inform opinion.  The crux of which being the way in which they portray women. 
Fame used to seem romantic, glorious and untouchable.  Now-a-days the prestige awarded a 'Booker or Turner prize' winner is quashed by that of a reality TV entrant. Due to this irrefutable imbalance a degree of sceptacism is evident within her work. She seems to pivot between defending and destroying women that have received this sought after 'Celebrity'.  This can be seen to great effect in 'Heather Lennon' where she fabricates a pseudo life for Heather Mills.  Massey utilises satire to create an engaging reasoning as to why Mills-McCartney endured her just deserts.  Conversely in an earlier installation entitled 'Seven' she defended said celeb and others in outlining their vices and likening them to our own.  In so doing reaffirming them as mortals instead of the god like symbols that they have recently become.
Bex combines a knowledge for the artistry of the comic book Genre with  deep seated fine art methods.  The figurative narratives and some times wonderlands that she creates in pamphlets, zines, bound editions, installations, large scale drawings and oil on canvas transforms a geekish obsession into a format accessible to all.
