"I painted this collection from reference photos of myself and others sent to me in Instagram DM’s or texts. Little moments of the lives of queer and trans people I know and love. These bodies are not anomalies, because none of us are. Humanity is a vast and varied big breathing body, bound together by love. Our bodies are so cool- they carry codes and dreams from ancestors and past lives, they scar and wrinkle with time-a construct that bends and takes many forms. In us are atoms that have been in dinosaurs and leaves and stars- I love to capture the shape that they’re making for a little moment; these temporary homes. "
