The cast silicone form is made up of modules that were molded from the packaging of a medication I must inject myself with bi-weekly. The rubber blanket is a data visualization of 5 1/2 years of medications. The same mold was used to produce Rolling Over

Through a tedious mold-making and casting process functioning like a manual extruder, I depicted the queer body as a skeletal building structure in various stages of construction, existence, collapse, and ultimately renewal. The ENOUGH series deals with issues of queer intimacy in spaces and surroundings of fluctuating stability, and the control or lack thereof over materials and physics. The flexible and translucent, synthetic rubber forms aim to capture and narrate a queer entity in its entirety, through its collapse, and finally in its essence. The queer entity in ENOUGH is one that is struggling with the limits of its own materiality; it caves in under its collective weight, yet it supports itself.
