​My practice is built on a lifelong fear of forgetting and a fascination with the unreliable nature of memory. My practice draws from queer archives, art history, embodied cultural knowledge, and autoethnographic methodologies. I explore queer temporalities, found family, and "home" primarily through mixed media collage and assemblage, painting from life, and writing. I emphasize what is missing, what could be imagined, and what is worthy of remembrance.

 

I see medical transition as a rich repository of queer theoretical frameworks in action. A guiding question within my work is: What does it look like to conceptualize transness with reverence?
