Artist statement

Her Unreality is a series of ink and gouache drawings that act as windows into an alternative world in which queer women are at the centre of their own history. The drawings were first constructed digitally, transferred onto cold-pressed watercolour paper, and completed using ink and gouache; the process taking the fictional reality from the immaterial and digital to the physical. To create a world separate from our own, a unique language of symbols was constructed to further conceptualise this realm of queer visibility and power, the iconography acting as the mediator and translator into this world.
