Nature of Longing

My work wanders between different constructs of nature as inherently good, inherently evil, and all the delicious messy gray areas in between. These ideas manifest in work that draws on references to folklore, sacred objects, and various codes of iconography as a lens to express narratives from personal experiences as a queer person. I am mainly focused on rereading the enchanted forest as a queer space outside of the confining structures of society where the strange, secret and magical occurs.I engage with theoretical concepts relating to affect, queer theory, and merging theoretical positions on medieval concepts with material feminist ideas of object agency as conceptual underpinnings behind my work.
