-Quote from hand painted yard signs, 2025

My work addresses the silencing of trans histories born from systemic censorship and oppression while centering the joy of liberation and self-expression. Using satire, kink, and camp, I combine my archive of vintage gay pornography with socially-gendered craft practices to design tactile and toy-like narrative sculptures. Industrial materials like wood, metal, and plaster meet weaving, quilting, and decoration to tell trans-centered stories of queer fantasies and irrepressible joy. In addition to my home studio practice, I use curation and performance in collaboration with fellow artists and queer-run spaces to express the tangible effects of a community in action.
