How does being queer inform your work?

Being queer means I find myself interpreting art and my environment differently to cishet friends and peers, which I'm very grateful for.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

All of Us Strangers (2023) dir. Andrew Haigh

Which other queer people inspire you?

Mae Martin - seeing someone on mainstream British TV using and being referred to with they/them pronouns made me feel incredibly valued. Their show Feel Good is also a very personal and moving piece of television. and finally my queer lecturers and fellow queer students.
