Student Juried Show: Our Positions
In my work, fluid and sci-fi “creatures” learn from their non-human companions. I look to all the animate species surrounding me for relief from the intensely gendered and capitalist present. Living between Kansas and Missouri, I speak to the lost and critical connections between my body and the local environment. Spending time outside, I realize a greater kin I have been neglecting: the birds, water, animals, and plants that also call this place home. I imagine a world where bodies are more than their physicalities and the wisdom of the more-than-human beings we share this world with are prioritized over profit.
