play with me

a Cat-shaped heart


articulated themes                    



  • the subtleties of animal-human relationships and mutual activation of one another as vessels of feeling;
  • an individual appreciation for the mundane bonds I have with my cat, my body, and our shared animalness;
  • questioning what is public and personal through an exchange of deep intimacy/vulnerability;
  • explicit inclusion of trans nudity and queer joy in the face of unrelenting censorship as a survival tactic to disrupt oppressive, cisnormative systems.



                  material reality

  • zines: accessible, hand-crafted items that celebrate flaw and the process of creation.

  • risograph: a medium that imbues each comic with a lifespan of its own.
