Description: "Imagining Sight Lines is a body of photographs, collages, and writing that teases out the poetics of a queer body politic. The different methods of picture making disrupt a set of relational codes that are naturalized by heterosexuality, and thus create a queer logic. This sort of world making attends to coherence, disjunctures, care and labor." -- Kris Graves Projects

His work weaves writing and photographs in order to tease out the poetics queerness." -- Kris Graves Projects
