My practice revolves around navigating my lesbian gaze and desires. I make intimate and vulnerable portraits of my community, friends, and lovers, which are the most vital relationships in my life. I explore the complexities and ambiguities of the space where eroticism meets comfortability. Utilizing processes such as screen printing, cyanotypes, text, and collage, I contextualize the attractions and longings in my entanglements. Diaristic in nature, my mixed media work allows me to assert my lesbian gaze and sexual identity, giving agency to my femininity.
