“Deep down people see a fat person and all they want to do is see them naked."

​

Gristle is an exploration into society's perception of fatness through the lens of the 'funny fat friend' archetype. It balances the highs and lows of what it means to be different and what it means to feel ostracised. And asks how can we find our support networks in the face of a world that wants you to conform to a certain standard? Exploring toxic masculinity and mental health in light of the complexities of modern living, Gristle is relentless in its approach to confront, challenge and empower.
