Year: 2026 | Medium: The Bible, found magazines/books/junk mail, kpop albums, miniature wooden crate | Dimensions: 5 x 2.5 x 3 inches | Display: Pedestal required (I need one provided)
Artist Statement
This compilation features seven erotic queer collage poems. Sourcing every word from a print bible allows me to physically and spiritually deconstruct religious influence over my body. Among these works is "in our bodies"- a love letter to the autonomy of queer bodies, to the power of creation, to the celebration of sexual desire, and to my husband.
in our bodies We proclaim the truth
To each person
the manifestation of the Spirit is
their own,
the body is
a dwelling in the heavens,
We are enti-
tled of ourselves to take credit for
designing it to be lived in
you are beautiful, my lover-
strap sunk deep in
me,
and your hand
upon me.
And from my flesh I shall see God;
my inmost being
reflected
In your eyes
For I will stretch forth my hand
tracing the scar
on your chest
in awe of the
power to express
what lies in the heart
your body is
handiwork, created in
the divine image
You are the temple
rocking the flesh of my flesh;
and we are
ambassadors for creation
What ardent desire
we possess in earthen vessels
I am
wonderfully made;
screaming in ecstasy
as I climax
that I love
being trans
I lay in bed,
catching My breath
watching you
take the Andro gel,
and
rub it on me as
after care
