Constructed of materials such as shoelaces, upcycled bike inner tubes, zippers, Lite Brites, patchwork black leather, and metal studs, the piece pays homage to pioneering lesbian, queer, and transgender histories and ruminates on the promises and problems of queer and alternative kinship structures, nomadism, landlessness, movement, and identity.
My role of assisting with the sewing of this Van over periods of time when the work was in studios at Museum of Art and Design (NY, NY), Pioneer Works (Brooklyn, NY), Spring Break Art Fair (NY, NY) and installing at Toledo Museum of Art (Toledo, OH).
