"ᎤᏍᎨᏥᎸ ᎠᎵᏍᎩᏍᏗ" (usgetsilv alisgisdi - chicken-comb dance)
Mixed media, 2022. Playful sexual dimorphism, ritualized by the two-spirit. The two-spirit gyrates in the chicken-comb dance.
The language is Cherokee (which I'm part). The concept of the Two Spirit is pan-native-american, the term itself being formally coined near the end of the 20th century by queer indigenous activists and cultural preservationists.

"Do You Choose To Glitch Through The Rest Of Your Journey?
>YES
>NO"
Mixed media collage, 2022.
"We Are Not Alone"
Mixed media collage, 2022. At the time of making this piece, I was reading a book called Dark Eros, an analysis of Marquis de Sade. I think this mindset bled through in the collage, the prospect of masochism in choosing the theatrics of innocence, versus the self exploration of the libertine.
"Live A Little"
Mixed media collage, 2024.
