Transsexual Time is a long term project encompassing photography, filmmaking, collecting and writing exploring themes of non linear time, queer history and grief. In the absence of living queer and trans ancestors we often have to turn to archives to find traces of our pasts. What to do when you turn there only to find missing pieces, what do we do with those voids?

In my attempt to explore these gaps in trans histories I have been taking pilgrimages to various queer archives to talk to archivists and look through their collections. In a recent residency in NYC I spent two months undertaking this work as well as using the diaries and letters of elders passed to trace their steps throughout the city. This communing with the dead resulted in a series of letters addressed to these ancestors (Chloe Dzubilo, Johnny Science, David Wojnarowicz) as well as text pieces describing the missing photos I hoped to find in the archives.

All of these attempts are added to my own photographic images in order to weave a patchwork of history, tended to by many hands and visited by many presences. The result is a kaleidoscopic collage of time wherein the past, present and future merge together in one timeline.

This project is not on view online in full. It is meant to be seen as an installation of photos, text pieces & two short films. There is a book in progress. The fragments here only suggest something in process.
