Artist statement:
Being trans, I find it hard to feel comfortable and content in my own body, even in large groups of my peers.
The kids really reflect that for me.
They’ve all got extra pieces and their bodies don’t quite work right and they’re all crammed into a space that doesn’t really accommodate them properly – just like the rest of us. But despite that, they’re still very much a collection and they look amazing together despite the extra bits and pieces getting in the way.
They’re all individual pieces and confined to their own space, but they all look like they belong together and that’s because they do.
