Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Some of us can’t help but reveal our nature. I work with painting, printingmaking and ceramic. My work examines layering, and camouflage as metaphors for queer erasure. Drawing upon sources like police entrapment films that targeted gay men and pulp monster movies that freighten and fascinate, I use figures like Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman as metaphors for queer identities. For example, the vampire as virus, the werewolf as insatiable desire, and Frankenstein's monster as the socialy constructed and rejected child. Through printing and painting on porcelain, fabric, and other materials, I layer and abstract these images, merging history with fantasy. These assemblages reveal marginalized lives, culminating in an evolving body of queer abstractions.
