COSMIC GENDER FEELINGS is a continuing series of linocut prints with gold leaf illustrating my experience of multi-layered queer identity.  Using a repeating visual language, each piece depicts the deeply personal and ongoing process of constructing and deconstructing my identity - moments of joy, questioning, transcendence, anxiety, contemplation, dysphoria, struggle, and wholeness.  I often lack language to adequately describe these feelings and experiences; this series attempts to document and communicate them both for myself and others.  For me, this is a spiritual process through which I experience connection to the greater universe.  When I feel most connected to my authentic gender, I feel part of something much larger than myself and my individual experience.  Influences on this work include floatation therapy, cannabis, ambient music, walks in the woods, being in the ocean, having sex, and time spent by myself in the early hours of the day before the sun comes up.
