Artistic Research and Practice
Artistic Research • Practice • Archival Work
My artistic research extends beyond queer embodiment and spatial politics to engage with queer contemporary history. Central to this work is an archival impulse: both critically examining institutional archives and actively constructing living queer archives through image, text, and performance. I approach the archive not as a neutral repository, but as a contested site—one shaped by silences, omissions, and acts of refusal. Whether working with historical materials or collaborative portraiture, my practice aims to foreground marginalized narratives, trace affective residues, and create visual and spatial forms that honor queer presence, precarity, and resistance.

Essay: On the Figure That Doesn’t Belong
Drawing on performance, self-portraiture, and critical gender theory, the text examines how male-coded embodiment can act not as a return to dominance, but as a site of tension, refusal, and unmaking. The essay reflects on how such bodies—when staged with intention—can disrupt patriarchal norms rather than reproduce them.
Essay: On Queer-Feminist Interruptions in Avant Garde Feminist Art
While early feminist art reclaimed the female body, queer-feminist practices questioned what “the body” could mean at all. Through performance, abstraction, and coded gesture, queer artists expanded feminist strategies into stranger, more unstable territories. The text reflects on queerness not as identity alone, but as a method of interruption.
