"For some time, my practice has used abstraction to defy representation and easy reading. I am interested in what happens when a text or image is difficult to read, or when we “see through” or “fail to see” and recognize certain aspects of difference, whether they are actually visible (and to whom) or not. Navigating my own queer- and transness over two decades of political change, I’m even more convinced it cannot be entirely understood or legitimized through representation and public visibility. I also draw from experiences of working in the HIV/AIDS response and passing of loved ones that have challenged my beliefs on the body and dying. What is felt or sensed but not seen, not entirely visible, is overlaid with multiple layers."
