I see people and their environments morphing into transsexual, not as a definitive destination but a space of complexity and amusement. As a transgender artist, I imagine "trans" as suggestive and paradoxical, where gender is always contradictory and in a state of flux.
Using wood creates a sculptural dimension, and the perception of the painting can be shifted to that of an object. The wood holds endless curving lines, varying tones and flexible movement in its surface. I play with the surface design as well as depths of field that are a part of the wood. The wood is pattern as well as a destination and I use this as an entry to paint.
I try to direct the picture to calculate an impossible landscape and work toward multiple non-narratives. I imagine absurdity to come from a place of discomfort and wonder, and as I am dressing the flat image I look for unexpected notions of dimension. Furthermore, imposing a unique gender, whether onto a figure or landscape, has inevitably become succinct to my approach in making any image.
