My work moves between sculpture, painting, and sometimes video to address issues of gender, embodiment, and bodily autonomy. My lived experience as a trans woman and the violent bigotry trans people face shape my art practice. I retread routes of feminist art-making through a transfeminist lens, inspired by body art and performance from pioneering feminist art. My art appropriates this work's visceral and tactile quality as a starting point, reifying it through an object-based practice that utilizes playful theatrical materiality and a saccharine color palette. Lumps, bumps, drips, layers, holes, nubs, and sometimes the human body appear rendered in paint and manifested in sculptural elements and video. My material choices range from typical studio fare such as acrylic paint and composite resins to craft materials like glitter, foam, and fabric to personal and quotidian items. My work envisions the possibility that the determination of one’s own body and expression can be playful, buoyant, weird, and wonderful. Ultimately, I aim to reclaim a wonderful weirdness, humor, and joy, concepts easily erased from the lives and experiences of women like me.
