The Politics of Care
My current work focuses on the everyday subject matter that is my life to illuminate the personal as political. I translate my lived experience, with all its’ rawness, flaws, love, empowerment, and vulnerability into art. My work portrays the lessons I have learned about love, loss, and conveys the perspectives I hold about community, care, self-sacrifice, mutual aid, chosen families, queerness, family structures, and gender identity. I have an undying commitment to my practice; it is how I connect to my subconscious to process life and then communicate to the world. My goal is to evoke joy, self reflection, questioning and action in others. By combining the hand made, the digital, and everyday objects, and by addressing queer subject matter that simultaneously speaks to the human condition.
