They understand dreaming and inspiration as living components of collective livelihood and see their role as an artist as constructing hope. They aspire to make art that offers reflection and invitation to everyone who feels called to it. Looking at self documentation as empowered history and story telling as survival; their own is a rejection of status-quo reality and a navigation of the magic of queerness and interconnection. Their work is a homage to the concepts of self, reality and time as fluid and non-linear and an envisioning of dreamworld futures made tangible through freak art and magical realism.
