Relationships, real or imagined, are at the center of my work. Growing up queer, I searched for a history that spoke to me- included me. In my family, there were no couples that mirrored my own intimate relationships. That didn’t keep me from imagining such couples. From my grandmother’s old family snapshots I created an imaginary queer past, pullling out photos that pictured women together and men together. The following pieces are works of fiction. The individuals seen here serve as characters in my search to uncover lost stories of love and desire.
