I'm really interested in the idea of clothing as a costume, and all the little choices people make when presenting their person to the world. When I'm painting people, I like to encourage them to wear eccentric garments and pose with random objects, giving my subjects a lot of agency in how they choose to be painted. This painting is a celebration of autonomy and adolescent queerness, pushing self-expression to the absurd.
