My artwork takes inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts and silkscreen prints to create a multi-faceted painting which appeals to the community of Milton to tap into the love already in their hearts for their transgender neighbours. Trans rights have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, but this has led to a fiery backlash, and a culture war continues to rage as we redefine our understandings of gender and sex in our quest to extend compassion and dignity to transgender and genderqueer individuals. This artwork affirms Milton’s capacity to love their trans community members and utilizes a language of mythology and metaphor to celebrate trans experience. The two narrow sides of the painting depict figures with both masculine and feminine elements, figures which joyfully exist in the in-between, as transgender people often experience. The front and top faces depict queer embraces, reiterating the artwork’s themes of love, queerness and unity.
