12 attempts to collapse my infinity immerses viewers within a self-portrait studio shoot of the artist. Depicted across a series of twelve black&white photographic prints and a self-tape playing on a hybrid digital 'box camera', the work engages viewers in various acts of looking to question where exactly visibility resides, particularly in photographic representations of queer and trans bodies.

INDEXTHUMB PRESENTS

*CLICK*

 

TWELVE TIMES IT WAS THIS

ROTATED ROUND ITS AXIS EACH TIME

THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE SUCKED

OUT BY A CRUSHED RUBBER BALL BREATHING

 

OPEN THE SKY LIKE A BIRTHDAY GORL.

 

*SET ME FREE*

 

AND THE BLOWER

A NUDE (PRETTY)

CONTORTED IN HOPE

WAS FIXED, LATER TO LIE

SHED ON THE FLOOR IN GLOSSY PULP

AMONGST LACE AND CROPS

AND OTHER SUCH SUGGESTIONS.
