Blood and Honey
This body of large format gouache and watercolor illustrations take on a particular conversation about body and identity. Blood and Honey explore my relationship to my body, physical and mental disability, queerness and sexuality, and how they all tie into a sense of attempting to escape the feeling of “not belonging”. With the use of malachite, blood, honey, and sticky fruit of the gods I explore the feeling of alienation. Divining a queer soul that lusts guilty through the feelings of lacking ‘usefulness’ as a body and how best one can try to defy that notion. Through the use of gold and strong symbolic imagery I try to elevate these concepts to a state of holiness. I will belong, I will love, I will continue to flourish through blood and honey, I will not apologies for my own power as a vessel of life.
