The Green Room is an open studio residency that examines the transformative processes of video editing, performance, and gender transition through my queer relationship to the webcam, green screens, and the art of drag.
‘Chroma-keying’ is a tool of erasure, a process currently unfolding on the history and identities of trans people in America today. Come with ‘Lady Boner’ into the neon-green slime ooze of the unknown – where transformation, ecstasy, and salvation await.
Installed as a part of the 2025 VCUarts MFA Thesis Exhibition exhibited in The Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU. Curated by Misa Jeffereis (Associate Curator, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis), Egbert Vongmalaithong (Assistant Curator, ICA at VCU), and Chase Westfall (Head of Gallery and Exhibitions, VCUarts Qatar), the 2025 exhibition reveals a cross-section of emergent practices that are rooted in collaboration, experimentation, and the urgency to make meaning in an ever-changing world.
