the lovers

The Lovers is a group of prints that began during a month-long residency at St. Michael's Printshop is St. John's, Newfoundland and is an on-going body of work.

​

Careful, delicate, sorrowful, these prints explore the loss of a lover and the loss of that intimacy-something that is so sacred in gay relationships. Imagined via pairs or in flocks of birds, the consideration of the "other" in a partnership is an underlying wind with this work.

 

The thought of separation---heartbreaking, but ultimately imminent. 

​

An exploration of queer love and grief. flocks, pairs, and text describe the migratory nature of queer life and love, and the act of taking up space but never as much as queer people need; the constant movement for a partner or self preservation, and the trauma of queer love inherently impacted by external and internal forces
