I love creating sculptural ceramics pieces. A lot of my works deal with exploration of queer identity through body horror.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration comes from horror films, especially body horror films and zombie movies. I also get a lot of inspiration from my own lived experiences as a trans person and the complicated relationship I have with my body.
What would you do with $25,000?I would like to eventually go to grad school, so $25,000 would go towards that.
