Nick and Fabian, Mirror (Self Portrait). 2026. Cyanotype on paper. 18.5“ x 12.5”
This series of prints center on fleeting intimacy within contemporary queer expereince. In a landscape shaped by hook up apps and transactional encounters, I record moments of tenderness that often exist only briefly; shared for a night, then carried forward as fragments of memory.
The works draw from original photographs, images from my personal archive, and studio ephemera; inked acetate, misprinted test sheets, and soiled newsprint. These materials function as both image and residue; the traces of encounters and the processes used to record them.
Through transfer, exposure, etching, and collage, the images deteriorate. Marks of pressure, touch, and gesture overwrite the original photographs, obscuring and revealing them simultaneously. The resulting surfaces mirror the instability of memory. Moments of of intimacy persist only in partial, shifting forms.
These encounters are rarely documented outside of performance or pornography. By rendering them fragmentary and tactile, the prints dwell instead on their quiet aftermath. Whats left is lingering tenderness, the distance of recollection, and the slow erosion of what was once intense and immediate.
