 ~ Dedicated to the paths that humans prefer, rather than the paths that humans create ~

Through the physical and digital landscape, we interweave ourselves into a queered history of the loom, just another meeting of warp to weft. In reflecting on our experiences growing up in the American South and Midwest, we find that we must trailblaze our own definitions of consumption and desire. The work reflects through selfies, soul connections, and spacial interruptions/entanglements. Being sexy and shy and insecure and hungry, we navigate between the public and the private orchestrating social cues/queues. We bastardize materials found within the commons: the sidewalk, the field, the internet, the bedroom to orient towards queer daydreaming. The path we’ve found has no definitives, no ends in-sight, just continued discovery and renewal.

We invite you to forge your own path, and experience wandering into what is rooted at your core.




I LOVE YOU/IM NOT SORRY
