I grew up in rural Oklahoma, and currently reside in rural Tennessee. Living as a gay man in these rural landscapes can often feel impossible, yet here I find a thriving and diverse community of queer and trans people to vision the new world along with me. The friendships that form my community have become important not only as subject matter, but also as inspiration and source material, with much of my work created in collaboration with artists who specialize in different media and forms than my own.
