Open Into and Potentiality are both folded sculptural lithographs and are part of a developing series in which I am exploring themes around depicting emotional landscapes of queerness. This work envisions our amplified desires for connection, and manifests as faceted planes of color and image. Open Into is about envisioning vulnerability. It is a lense directed inwards to the ineffable universe of the self, cracked open, revealing a definitive core. Potentiality is about expressing internal power, the utility of two human hands and the energy and space that exists between them when they create.
