I choose to make this artwork after thinking about human waste and how the things we produce don’t really go away even if they are not right in front of us.

My now project will be focused on the Butch identity. This is a photography project. In the two pictures I have decided to use you will see the use of denim and the use of boxers, witch are both butch staples through how history and contuining into today. My goal with this project is to bring attention to the identity that is being butch and the queer history that butches have made.
With the recent ruling about IVF in Alabama, it brings into question what is counted as a life and what constitutes a wrongful death of a minor. Facilities are stopping the IVF treatment in fear of being charged with murdering… Continue Reading →
