Nothing Set in Stone

“Nothing Set in Stone” is acrylic on 11 x 14 canvas board inspired by Kai Jacobsons ”Gender Euphoria. What is it, and how do I get more of it?” As a trans man Gender Euphoria has been  a struggle for me. Gender as a fluid concept with both light and darkness and how gender  roles are applied inspired the colour palette with form drawn from introspection and  and discovering what makes me me and what makes me happy in my own skin.  

Every nonbinary person experiences their own journey with gender and where they  fall inside and outside the spectrum. ”Nothing Set in Stone” draws from Summit  2021 “Disrupt & Reconstruct” in embracing that nothing is ever black and white, red  or blue, male or female. Every experience is unique, and more people exist outside  classic and traditional images of masculine & feminine and breaking down those walls to include everyone in normal is vital.
