I often find myself pondering space; its setting, social and political contexts, and how space encompasses identity. As someone who is queer, I find both the private and public sphere a continual challenge. My writing and research practices focus largely on the in/visibility and cultural associations attached to Western constructs of identity. Connecting the past to the contemporary, I concentrate on how art and design live through experience and enable impact, both socially and culturally. By analyzing identity, including my own, I was able to reconnect with what motivates, inspires, and ultimately moves me to transform: the visuality of social influence and change through visual art and structure.
