the project POST STAMPED IN GLITCH / the boys pulls threads from a fictional recount of the story of the boys who are not boys who live in the inbetween. their story is free from timeline, free from structure beyond likeness. if they do not have their likeness they have nothing and so they cling to it like a buouy. they stay alive by calling one another the same name all over again while filling in the cracks that seem to never stop appearing. keys and keyrings, the security of shared and the own space, and firm taut knots to keep safe and restricted to what you know. the boys need this. the boys need to mirror one another and unlock the door to the lake house with the same set of keys so they know everyone in there belongs. melding forever and ever in a home that is imaginary. they sent this postcard to say hello. they sent a visitor to tell you what she saw.


POST STAMPED IN GLITCH / the boys focuses on the facets of inclusion, exclusion, identification, boys’ clubs and brotherhood, agreed upon reality and fictional limitations. In this project, I draw on discourse surrounding queer identity and perspectives on safe spaces, family and queer identity through an abstracted fictionalised lense. The role of the internet in community building, both negatively and positively charged and accelerated in speed and number in perspectives is prominent in our world. In the story it halts and glitches, is a tool for community through exclusion whatever that may be worth and cost.

The sculptural works draw on maritime accessory shapes and materials, as well as playfulness, tension and home access. The contrast between fluidity and rigidity is a recurring part of my work as it relates to queer identity and recognising yourself in others and the world around you.
