Abstract

Euphoria In Demontopia is a practice-led research project that explores the very personal yet aspirational desires of my transgender self towards the building of a queer utopia. My practice seeks to reclaim and process the unpredictable nature of violence upon the transgender body. This attempt to process this nature is in relation to a series of experimental methodologies that develop under my self-made term of ‘Queer Chaos’. My project sets out to combine a process of photographic collage portraits into an messy embrace of screen printed fabrics. My research questions how this very personal navigation of my queerness can invite queer communities, through means of my mutative spatial installations, into reflective healing away from a hetero-dominant world.
