All of it, A circle.
Our bodies are echoes. Queer Stars. A circle is a shape without beginning, without end. Time is a circle, a world, an echo, a star, a body. Spells and Worlds are not so different. A circle, a spell, a glitch.
My work is automatic, thoughts erupt from subconscious depths. Drawings bleed into sculptures, a potion of epoxy clay forms connective tissue, a body for Queer ghosts. Witchcraft is adaptation with intention, transformation. Queers and Witches have long incorporated circles into their work. Circles are power, they contain knowledge. These traditions continue today: Hard drives store spells in a disc of silver, PSU’s push current through circuits, blood pumps through a body. This is transformation.
Drawings, Witch Networks, and Wands are tools, machines for survival. Subliminal messages and codes are etched, tattooed into the skin of the work, ferrying messages of magic, stories of defiance, and tactics for existing.
It all goes in the cauldron, drawing; sculpture, experimental technology, and sight specific installation are components for a spell of reprogramming, for opening. Moons made of nail polish. Green light mutates into stars, eyes, mirrors. Sonic frequencies are a pathway, facilitating a metamorphosis in the cells of our bodies. Bones, language, detritus and electronic components are converted through alchemical processes, creating a Queering - a shift, hacking the ways these objects exist and communicate. Spaces transmit experiences of Queerness, creating a discotheque, a summoning, a portal.
A circle, All of it, A Black Hole.
