This series of unique white-line woodblock prints explores my developing sexuality in my mid-20s and seeks to test the boundary between the provocative and the protective. These images are rendered from the “queer gaze” focusing on the body with a different, more subtle lens of intimacy than the socially dominant “male gaze.”

White-line woodblock printmaking is a somewhat rare printmaking method uses a hand-carved wooden block and the tedious application of high-pigment watercolor ink to create unique prints that have a soft texture.
