How does being queer inform your work?

It sometimes presents in obvious way (i.e. depictions of men being gay) but often I think of queerness as being open to difference and of unconventional approaches, and also of unmitigated freedom to be yourself, and the joy that comes with it–and all of those attributes are strongly represented in my work.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

Probably Arca's Prada/Rakata music video. Still gives me chills when I watch–and I'd be gagged/delighted to turn the corner in an art museum and be greeted with her insane, techno-mystical contraptions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL-tvd8jeBc
