This is the work I made for
Perspectives II, a show with half of my cohort in
OCAD University's IAMD (Interdisciplinary Masters in Art, Media, and Design) program, at
Gallery West, in Toronto. The nook is made out of a fabric that I silkscreen printed by hand, including speaker cozies that I stitched together and blinged out with sequins and fringe. I also made pocket squares to give away at the opening reception, so the installation and party could live on in memory beyond its brief duration.
In my practice I've been experimenting with ways to join my practices of silkscreen printing and the distribution of signifying wearables with organizing dance parties and other means of facilitating social exchange and safe(r) space. I'm also considering how these activities can be documented and live on in memory, both public and private.

In other circumstances, this nook will also accommodate projections, such as
this queer deer dazzle stop motion animation I made in March. Here is an example of how that looks:
