BACK HAIR ANGEL WINGS, 2022
In another somber collection of prose & Polaroids, my fifth published work explores the joys within a queer relationship while remarking on a past littered with trauma and pain. Photographs of pleasant small town corners & urban environments with symbol-laden artifacts are paired with unnerving, sensual poems to illustrate the absolute uncertainty and nothingness of being an artist in their mid-twenties. In the heat of a committed, happy relationship, what does it mean to be in love and to be cherished despite a spotty track record with the devil?
"It's an amalgamation of so many bittersweet memories. It's subversive queerness spitting in the face of the mainstream: rusty silver chains, pansies wrapped in barbed wire, spalling brick walls, unresolved trauma, living paycheck to paycheck, cross-dressing, abandoned mattresses in parking lots, Rottweilers painting their nails pink, drinking three cold brews a day and feeling nothing & crying at a small town gas station in the middle of the night."
PLEASANTRIES, 2019
A calming set of prose and color Polaroid photographs that chronicle how love and self-awareness can bring about contentment and a new sense of direction. Airy, obscure and blissful.
sour milk curds, 2018
This sobering collection is based around the ugly side of gay adolescence, documenting sour tasting themes like rape, abuse, virginity, and love gone awry. Brooding and dramatic, the works paint an honest, mature portrait of how it feels for your body and heart to be broken hard. Dirty, rancid, and confrontational.
fagart, 2017
Part poetry, part art gallery, “fagart” is a fragile, black and white collection of queer love, longing, lust, and loneliness. Intimate, quiet, and soft-spoken.
