The gendered body is an opaque presence. Sometimes belonging, sometimes owning, sometimes alienated. Always aware, always strategizing. Often framing and, even more often, being framed by the spaces it inhabits, in permanence or in passing. Spaces imagined by convention, inscribed with sexuality, activated by memory, and located at the intersection of image and image-making.
