What is the connection between queerness and rock? The environmental forces that shape rock also shape us: pressure, heat, fracture, dissolution, burial, erosion, crystallization, metamorphosis, sedimentation, slowness, explosion. My vision of queer love is enmeshed in the powerful, foundational, and ancient geologic mechanisms of the Earth. Made in collaboration with Rivanna River rock, this sculpture/collage piece fuses images of the banal, everyday moments of a lesbian relationship. Cut and dyed braids of hair link together to frame the fossilized moments of queer domesticity. Acts of cooking, sleeping, pausing, reading, and tending are imagined to be marked and recorded in the geologic record. These daily repetitions make up our lives and are tethered to our liberated futures. Rock, hair, and paper materials reflect the infinite possibilities of queerness: fragility, woven into strength, and solidity, rendered as a quiet, sensitive resilience. “We may only become sediment, again” presents queer folk as an inherent and sacred part of the world.
