Artist Statement

My work as an artist, activist, and academic reflects and refracts my experiences as a white neuroqueer trans woman and dyke. It exists at the intersection of queer and trans theory, history, and practice; community-engaged direct action; and art making as a form of self- and community-care. My practice is deeply political; and the academic, activist, and artistic practices I undertake are inseparable from, and inform one another. In everything I do, I strive to  embody and forward an ethics of trans liberation, which is more important than ever in the time and place that I practice. Through my work, and like écrituré feminine, I (j/e) create spaces, with love—and with loving force when necessary—for trans women, their bodies, sexualities, and experiences to exist unapologetically. My work, like my body, is trans-disciplinary, spanning analog and process filmmaking, videogame art, watercolour painting, and art writing. Through all my work I strive first and foremost to document—with an aspiration towards archiving—my experiences, my body, my lovers, and my community.
