“We all have seen utopian visions of the future in a variety of mediums throughout modern history. In retrospect, these are always reflective more of the time that envisioned it than of the future that eventually comes to pass. This work is about how those visions fail to capture how dazzling and complicated those envisioned times end up being in reality.

These science-fiction utopias that capture popular imagination often leave behind real physical remnants in art and design that were meant for a time that never fully arrived. I wanted to make room for a type of vision that sees Black and brown bodies, Queer bodies, large bodies, and altered bodies as fitting a future more based in the immense complexity of real life.”
