I am both a critic
and a maker.

A new series, based on my essay “Exuberant Embodiment: A Trans Utopia for an Unbearable Present,” is in progress.

In this series, I express the multi-layered process of discovering identity. A variety of media—paint, ink, ground pigment, glue, drawing materials—express the ways identity emerges through a layering of experience. The arrival of new input—internal and external—begs the question, was there ever a “true self” to begin with? Or, is there a continual mapping of the self with no beginning or end?
