Trans Scraps, 2022 - Present

Trans Scraps archives moments of transition through the physical manipulation of fabric. The materials used in these sculptures are scraps from cloths that were made and/or modified to fit trans bodies. The pieces are constructed in a generative process where the shape of the fabric determines the shape of the final sculpture. It parallels the experiences that trans people have when they begin transitioning. Moments that can range from learning how to braid hair while working at an office, to having a family member say horrific things.
