Adam’s Needle: 

Gender, sexuality and identity are three heavily referenced, widely explored topics in the world of visual arts. Through this past year, I have been working with self-portraiture to create introspective work that speaks to a larger audience about those topics. ‘Adam’s Needle’ investigates a “genderless” body, what that means, and if it is possible in a world so heavily reliant on the binary system. Taking visual cues from classical photography, I have queered the traditional lens through the insertion of my own non-conformist body. In my work I remain anonymous, so as to let the photographs speak to wider ideas about gender performance and queerness.
