With the pieces “Have a Day” and “Uncomfort to Comfort” I created a narrative surrounding everyday experiences of the LGBTQ+ community more specifically non-binary individuals. This narrative is one that I believe that can be continued throughout my artistic career and through different mediums. The next step for the narrative is to create a solid background for the cardboard head character, which
I affectionately call “Mx.Head”. I want the audience to believe that anyone could be wearing the head, more specifically any trans person. I would try to find a wide variety of trans individuals and have a photo shot with them all in the cardboard head and without. I would then photoshop each individual person with a lower opacity layer of the mask. With the manipulated photos I would place them in a grid pattern and make a CMYK screen print of the photos.
