I ‘queer the landscape’ and create topographical relics that record and reinvent my physical and sensorial surroundings. My work vibrates at the intersection of the natural environment, queerness, and digital spaces. I implement various printmaking processes to create marks that resemble fractals, glitches, Xerox prints, and stop-motion animation. The initial marks/rubbings are generated from personal and found objects, including old milk crates from my late father’s car and local flora and fauna to thwart linear and expected (in other words, heteronormative) notions of time. Through a collage-like aesthetic and by jamming together ‘printed’ patterns with hand drawn, wonky passages, I create moments of purposeful disorientation. In this new, queer, futuristic landscape nothing is as stable as it seems.
