The driving forces of my life and art work revolve around the idea of compulsory gender and the trans persona. Popular culture, the scientific community and the media contribute to a cultural hegemony that urges conformity to a strict gender binary. This binary dictates that we identify as either male or female, and that our appearances, behaviors, and preferences are proscribed by this designation.

As a gender variant individual I find myself outside of the binary, and consequently, my work seeks to explore the expansive nature of the gender continuum. I access technologies of gender mutation in order to enhance physical ambiguities which have historically been eradicated or manipulated by systems of science and the health industry. I function as a hybrid queer individual, intersexed by design as opposed to diagnosis.
