My current creative practice focuses on queer as a strategy to subvert structures, concepts, and traditions: developing ‘femme’ as a tool for sculptural language and disruption, and utilizing form to examine experience and reimagine futures. 

The series “Queeries” is a place where I also explore queerness as a noun, an identity, and a lived experience. I use this space to connect with and honor queer history and queer ancestors, examine my own experience finding and building a home within queerness, explore the challenges of in/ex-clusion, including place-making, building community, and femme invisibility, and celebrate queer joy and the radical power it creates.

won't you celebrate with me

what i have shaped into

a kind of life?

…

come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to kill me

and has failed.
