Borders create a collection of guidelines in which my actions, words, and desires construct my queer identity. They contain me.
But queerness can never truly be contained by a set of borders because that would imply a limitation of possibilities. So, I cross a line again and again and again to create a queer neutrality in which I am suspended and everything destabilizes.
But the lines remain even as I try to dissolve old containers.
This work considers the way queerness creates its own borders as much as it tries to dismantle them. It combines the personal, visual, and theoretical ways in which borders construct our identities but also disconnects us from an array of queer potentiality.
