Not to Be Dramatic But

Abstract

Not to Be Dramatic But Kyra Gregory (bio) My work is rooted in an existential search for self and community, and driven by my personal experiences with queerness, mental illness, and spirituality. As a transmasc/genderfluid/nonbinary person, I am drawn to self-portraiture as an attempt to externalize my varied self-perceptions and visualize my constantly morphing gendered self-states. These prints are physical expressions of my experiences and are manifestations of myself that are untranslatable into written or verbal language.
