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 Rivanna River rock, this sculpture-collage piece fuses with images of the banal, everyday moments of a lesbian relationship. A hand dyed Halloween wig frames fossilized these moments of queer domesticity. The acts of cooking, sleeping, pausing, reading, and tending mark the geologic record. Each silent second capable of crystallizing into a world free from threat. Moments tether our hope for liberated futures. Rock, hair, and paper materials absorb and fuel the infinite possibilities of queerness: able to take fragility and weave it into an unshakeable mightiness, able to take unbending grit and recognize its quiet sensitivity and resilience. “We may only become sediment, again” presents queer folk as an inherent and sacred part of the natural world.
