The trans body is everything. It is the source and the soil of my entire process. My experience of my body because of my transness feels rather abstract. Through joy and discomfort, euphoria and dysphoria, I experience my body as an amalgamation of parts disconnected and reconnected. I am denounced, dissected, squashed, stretched, reformed, and reconstructed – by my own hand and from the perception of others.

My work explores this visceral human experience via abstract organic forms. Blobs or globular forms repeat throughout the work in different manifestations. They are the body, the residue from the body, the space the body encompasses, and the experience of being overwhelmed and eruption of feelings that burst from the fibers of the body. As a multimedia artist, I use a variety of mediums; spray foam, wax, relief prints and etchings, to engulf my audience in the mass of blobs, hoping to bring them into my reality. Throughout my practice, I prioritize play and process. Using intuition and feeling both to be in body and present while making and to embody the physicality of the piece. Finding congruence with myself and my art, and with my audience as well.

Along with my representation of trans bodies, my work explores my fears of existing in public bathrooms. In our current political and social sphere trans people feel the ramifications of the hate targeted at us and our bodies. This is especially true and specifically targeted around the use of bathrooms. My installation embodies those anxieties I encounter in public bathroom spaces. Playing with themes of sensory perception and proprioception through my queer and trans lense. I want my audience to experience my work through their senses and become overwhelmed by the out-of-place touch, sound, and sight I endure and provide for them. By covering my sculptural urinals in unexpected materials from fur to plaster, I challenge the inhibited to feel a sense of the ridiculous and surreal that trans individuals can experience in the bathroom.
