A Subtlety of Starlight
This is a new body of printed works on paper made in 2024 at Atelier Meridian in Portland Oregon. Experiments in mono-printing with screenprinting, shine collé, organic materials, textile scraps and CNC Laser etching on acrylic and traditional etching on copper. This body of work explores ideas of queer time and multiple realities through the metaphor of quantum physics. Ultimately as a queer person, stepping away from the heteronormative path leaves me a bit lost, and without the markers of success and adulthood that were sold me to as a child of the early 90's. Through these prints I am connected back to past ideas of myself, and reliving old joys in new ways. I also explore feelings of personal conflict and uncertainty as I make a path forged of my own willpower and letting go of prescribed notions correctness.
With huge thanks to the Regional Arts and Culture Council grant support of this project, as well as to my peers at my studios: Ninety Twenty Studios, and Atelier Meridian.
