Artist Statement:
"In my current body of work, I wanted to reflect on my childhood in the 1980s and 90s. Before I had the words to describe what I was feeling as a trans person, I felt reflected in my toys. I wanted to be Han Solo, not Princess Leia. I wanted to be Ken, not Barbie. The culture and toys we grow up with as children are a part of how we see ourselves."
