“I have dreamed for a long time about creating a space that could hold queer grief and queer joy. In this time of so, so much grief and loss, holding the weight of both is so important.

queer time moves differently; I’ve been exploring creating alternate timelines in my art, and its lead me to ask, what would a new collective timeline look and feel like?”
