This nine year stretch spans from my arrival in New York City to the months right before the COVID-19 pandemic. My drawings in this period often take the form of bodies in transition. Transitional states of being are transgressive, spiritual, and erotic by virtue of being both relational and undefinable. They challenge power structures by refusing to be categorized. They don’t choose a side, embodying multiple types of beingness at once. These promiscuous assemblies depict a visual porosity acknowledging that even the simple act of breathing involves a dense traffic of energy, emotion, pollen, pollution, vapors and viruses which continuously change our internal and external landscapes. They bear the marks of history and cultural conditioning, but also contain, through an eros of transformative encounters, all the possibilities for a new kind of corporeality, consciousness, sexuality, and survival.
