Artist’s Statement
This work is rooted in ideas of lost, longing, homage, archive, and power. To look at
one’s own identity and understand the history you embody can help create a more positive future. The lens of hardcore punk and gayness have been applied to this work. Knowing that the gay rights liberation sparked around the time hardcore punk. Positions this work at a crossroads of two communities fighting against a common enemy, the white supremacist capitalist society. This work calls to question what is there and what is lost. Where we have come and where we have gone. To quote Warzone “don’t forget the struggle, don’t forget the streets, don’t forget your roots.”
