My work as a printmaker centers on the fusion of screen printing and collage techniques. Through these I unravel and celebrate the multifaceted realms of queer story-telling, familial narratives, and personal identity—especially that of queer domesticity: household-building, the schedules, patterns and routines of ungendered work and the ordinariness of place holding, task-doing and surviving. Screen printing serves as my medium for expression, enabling me to layer colors, textures, and meanings with precision, speed and informality. Each printed layer represents a layer of my own story and the stories of those whose lives have intersected with mine. The deliberate act of layering mirrors the complexities of human connections and the strata of personal identity within the queer experience. 

My print-collages, sourced from diverse materials and images, mimic the intricate patchwork of familial narratives. By blending disparate fragments, I evoke conflicting senses of unity and dissonance that often characterize our relationships with family and the past. Through these print-collages, I invite viewers to contemplate their own histories and how they shape their present selves. 

There is a monotony and repetitiveness of the work, often punctuated with color that is developed more through exploration than that of careful planning; this allows processes of printmaking — a repetitive, monotonous one— to be the guiding force of work-making. By extension, the work engages in conversation with craft-making as well: collage, drawing, assemblage, and handiwork. The print-collages are a record of the normalcy of shared life-living: the what’s, how’s and when’s of making space, queer story-telling, familial narratives, and personal identity.
