TRAN WOVEN S

In the top right corner, I chose a cropped image of Marsha P. Johnson, one of the most iconic and recognizable trans activists in American history. Both images serve as a tribute to queer elders and literally give eyes to the weaving with the past observing the present. Hanging from the left side of the weaving is an empty bottle of poppers (an important social drug for queer communities, specifically among gay men) and a bottle of nail polish (often used as a fun and/or transgressive form of gender expression). On the left, I've included a nearly empty roll of chest binding tape along with a silver chain necklace and an earring depicting two faces emerging from one. This section serves as a particularly personal expression of my trans/ non-binary gender.
