A Complex Desire

Kieran Myles Andr​és Tverbakk presents their first solo exhibition and composed of new labor-intensive and conceptual sculpture works that hold a conversation of gender identity, of reclamation. 

Found and collected materials are given new functions through tedious technical undertakings by the artist. The featured work ​Web ​is meticulously constructed of chains of bent nails, a reflection of recognizable utility. The show echoes a sentiment of boundaries and our proximity influenced perspective. 

“In my work, I consider what it means to have ownership over my identity, my body, and my heritage. In owning these parts of me I create representations of my truth that simultaneously reveal the potentially dire consequences of making a brown trans body visible. When we are seen for who and what we truly are, we are empowered, stronger, together. However, our visibility makes us a target for hate and violence."
