I<\/span><\/span> In 1995, I shot this scene in a home studio in Highbury Hill, London. At that point I was in a liminal state by gender. I was moving from being perceived as female to being perceived as male, but I agreed that I was born into sex.<\/p>\n

I did not switch I was not interested in moving from one anchor point to another. The space in between has always been a lot more interesting to me. However, this period felt like a turning point, revealing the ambiguity of the castle that always existed. I felt it needed documentation.<\/p>\n

Throughout my life, I was afraid that I was not properly recognized as a woman by ordinary people and my lesbian community. Because of that fear, I pulled out the hair that grew on my chin. As soon as the character stood out, I pulled it out with tweezers. But I took part in the Drag Kings competition at the National Movie Theater and I thought it was a good time to accept my body because my partner at that time was closer to masculinity than my femininity.<\/p>\n

I went to Italy for a month and let my beard grow for the first time. Intensely liberated. I felt like making a contract with myself. When I came back to London I kept it. This picture is important because it is ambiguous. Play with masculinity while posing with a beard, but the blue mascara on the facial hair and the makeup on the face still soften the shot. I felt accurate and honest about at what point in my life.<\/p>\n

My portfolio is at the heart of my work: it's how I understand, react, and approach my differences. I was born with interstellar variation and developed asymmetrically at puberty. For example, one chest was much larger than the other.<\/p>\n
