“My work may not appear overtly queer, but it most definitely made through a queer lens. When I was first finding my visual language, I was deeply inspired by my grandmother's aesthetic and the domestic. I took quilt patterns and mid-century forms and offset them, creating my own new shapes. This was how I expressed the feeling of growing up, admiring the space she held for others without ever being able to visualize a similar life for myself. I have since reclaimed this idea of the domestic of home and relationship, one that is made up of joyous color, intimate details, and many connections. Much of my work has references to the one and the many; small block and stack forms interact with each other and can represent themes of otherness, inclusion and exclusion, community, and belonging."
