Artist statement
When I was growing up there wasn't any queer characters in the shows I watched or the toys I played with, so in some of these pieces I reimagined those nostalgic characters to be more like my community today. For other pieces I have included icons from queer culture and fashion references, jaggedly cut together to show the contradictions and chaos of the imagery we see every day.
