Country of Equality Brutality



ThroNearly a quarter of all violence committed against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community involves physical or sexual violence. Currently my work in the mediums of printmaking, installation, and drawing, explore themes of brutality while raising awareness of the rising statistics of violence against the LGBTQ community by providing information to inspire people to enact positive change.

Straddling the line between figuration and abstraction, my work focuses on an individual’s experience after or during specific hate crimes. Through my pratice, expressive mark making and the idea of the multiple give an identity to these victims. While these acts of violence last a lifetime for the victims, the public’s perception of these acts are brief. Often these crimes are not even reported by individuals due to fear of being outed publicly.

Printmaking’s history of dissemination and political activism serves as a platform for the LGBTQ community. My goal is to create a dialogue, and raise awareness on these rising statistics, to allow for change in current legislature and the reevaluation of the reporting procedures within institutions on hate crimes.
