Description
Artist statement:
To Be a Man in a Woman’s Body is an artistic commentary on the artist’s internal struggles with gender dysphoria, both from a personal context and from a higher spiritual context. This work comes from a period in both Florida and the United States where transgender identities have been under scrutiny by the current political administration. The artist uses a painterly style with intentional strokes to further invoke the feelings of torment, pain, trauma, and shame associated with the poem and their identity. The book focuses on simple, representational imagery to further drive its narrative and encourages open interpretation both by trans individuals and those outside of the community.
