Brack~ish: (of water) the space between and surrounding a nonbinary gender experience

 Entitled Brack~ish, this series of  images, cyanotypes, collage, and lumen prints explore the connection between gender and the natural world through a verbo-visual metaphor of brackish water and the bay. 

   The work attempts to analyze and synthesize the relationship between a nonbinary gender understanding and the natural world, specifically focusing on the connections between queer life and existing outside the boundaries of traditional roles, akin to brackish bay water existing in two ecological worlds: salt and freshwater.
The work is driven by the artist’s personal experiences within a gender expansive existence outside the binary and is represented in both the visuals and the poetic texts underlying and coexisting with the images.
