What is my Archive?

My Archive is a digital collection of my artistic practice over the years. It consists of old artwork, including sketches and finished work; my studio, which highlights the evolution of my process, paint palettes, and studio space; my playlist, which is a list of songs I listen to while making work; old artist statements I’ve written; and photos of exhibitions and awards I’ve been in and won.

It is important to have records about my practice so that I can track my growth as an artist. In a way, most of my work in and of itself is an archive of my life and gender transition, so this is simply another way to explore that. Enjoy (:
