Queer Joy
I’m interested in the interplay between what can be shown and what must be felt. In the natural world, color is seductive. Flowers flash bright petals to attract pollinators; birds display iridescent feathers to draw mates. Color is how we find one another. I use non-local fluorescent orange to communicate desire, the invitation of something tender and delicious. In this way, color becomes a way of communicating feeling—a bridge between what we see and what we sense.
