What does it mean to overshare? OVERSHARING, my award-winning undergraduate thesis exhibition at Colorado College, explores deeply personal experiences with queerness and vulnerability. At once scathing, hilarious, romantic, and heartbreaking, OVERSHARING does not assume the author's innocence. Using a variety of media, including digital illustration, watercolors, collage, and ink, this vibrant and honest new work is a call for openness.

CHERRY BOMB, digital print
Lost Lady, mixed media altered book
OVERSHARING creates a dialogue between sketchbook pages and "final" work by playing with iterative notions of scale and media change. Some of the large digital prints are from my personal journals (see Hair in the Bathtub and IF FOUND). Some are large-scale reproductions from the very sketchbooks that viewers are encouraged to flip through nearby (see CHERRY BOMB).

Bookended by the metaphor of moving through a body, OVERSHARING features layered organic shapes as a motif (see A Portrait of the Artist, Entry, Exit, and Lost Lady... among others).

OVERSHARING culminated in a zine workshop where CC students, faculty, and local artists talked, drank tea, and made art. Together we made a collaborative zine with the theme of "night," which you can view here. A big thank you to everyone who participated!
