The Bedsheets
Drawing my cartoon body with India ink on used bedsheets evokes a silent community of past sleepers whose stories trail through the fabric; each mark registers a history of rest and absence while my present display of vulnerability insists on visibility with gusto and visual demand. These cartoons—representations of a fat queer body—claim space and refuse erasure; the bleeding ink becomes tears that soak into the sheets, binding personal grief and joy into the material of our lives.
