The Portrait project & Artist Books
The Portrait Project – Artist Books is an ongoing body of work where photography and autobiographical narrative come together to create intimate, handcrafted artist books.
This work exists as a living archive in resistance to the ongoing erasure of queer lives and histories.
Shot in Peru, this photography is combined with letterpress and artisan paper from around the world.
It shows his resilience as a queer person learning to accept himself and be an example in his community.
