Body Exaltations and the End of Land

Selected works from Body Exaltations and the End of Land. In this series I make portraits in places vulnerable to environmental and economic forces, exploring what it's like to hold space for celebration while simultaneously holding the anxiety of displacement. Inspired by my history of creating places of gathering, I make connections to the loss of space my queer community faces to the loss of land we all face. I also contend with outdoor queer spaces that do not feel welcoming to women and trans people.

Photographs are archival pigment prints on cotton rag, 16 x 24 inches in editions of 3
