“I see people and their environments morphing into transsexual,
not as a definitive destination but a space of complexity and amusement.”

"Oscillating between painting, sculpture, and video the artist welcomes the relationships of supposed opposites as an allegory for the uncertain humor that accompanies living transgendered: “I see people and their environments morphing into transsexual, not as a definitive destination but a space of complexity and amusement.” In this manner rocks are painted to represent strawberries or Roquefort cheese, an apple is covered with a glossy sealant to create a sagging skin, a tree branch painted to resemble an ear of corn, and a dildo is slipped within a wet sock to leave a phallic impression. When seen together the works present a highly idiosyncratic picture of the notion of “trans” not as “this” to “that” but as “beyond”.
