"We Are Not Alone"

Being an artist is hard

"Prayers"

Mixed media, 2022.

"Live A Little"

Mixed media collage, 2024.

"Across Lifetimes Untold, We Still Say Hello"

This piece is inspired by a petroglyph in Peterborough, Ontario, c. 900-1100 CE. The First Nations people call them Kinomagewapkong, "The Teaching Rocks". To the Anishinaabe, the rock site is sacred, an area where spirits and the corporeal can meet. This figure really sticks out, scholars believe the top of their head is the Sun.

How the sun's light reflects upon the moon shining across our faces as we look up and connect, 2024.

"Bloom"

Mixed media, 2024. This piece is a reworking of a former piece, the person who has inspired said previous piece is no longer a part of my life, and this reworking is a reclamation with the additions of the rose and vines. One can be obscured by total darkness, but the eyes can still see.

Here's what it looked like before.

"Samsara (Always On My Mind)"

Collage, 2021.

This piece was sold to a friend

"Untitled #1"

Recycled collage, 2021. A 2nd gen collage from a piece called "I Don't Know How To Be A Woman" I made for one of my old zines.

"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.

"Be In Her Hellfire"

Mixed media collage, 2022.
