ARTIST STATEMENT

"As a gender variant visual artist I access ’technologies of gender’ in order to amplify rather than erase the hermaphroditic traces of my body. I name myself. A gender abolitionist. A part time gender terrorist. An intentional mutation and intersex by design, (as opposed to diagnosis), in order to distinguish my journey from the thousands of intersex individuals who have had their ’ambiguous’ bodies mutilated and disfigured in a misguided attempt at ’normalization’. I believe in crossing the line as many times as it takes to build a bridge we can all walk across."
