Redefining Difference
The topics in my work stem from my personal experiences as an intersex
person. Both the history of otherness and political activism inform my
practice. Mutants, Monsters, Freaks and Misfits are incorporating the
fears of a norm-constrained culture and represent the boundaries of
the acceptable—reflecting the face of the regulators who made them.
The expansive visual and conceptual material of transgression becomes
part of my vocabulary and meets the agendas and ideas of social and
queer politics and human rights issues. The interconnection of scale
variations of the small sized works and their clustering within the
wall filling drawing respond to my expectation of reading apparently
personal or private issues within a social context and thus to always
understand them as politically relevant.
