My interest in language is steadfast, but I think each project and its accompanying intentions dictate how language must be used.

I especially worry about the ways Canadians can be glib about our supposed difference from the US in our "acceptance" of "diversity."

My intention was never to write a "trans novel" - which is perhaps an effective strategy for writing a trans novel.

I have always considered the aesthetic of a project, including press photos, as a means to further the message of the art itself.

I couldn't write about love without writing about hate - specifically, how the experience of hatred embeds itself in the body and prevents love from entering or leaving.

I think white artists have a responsibility to be not only naming white supremacy, but to be using their power and privilege to support artists of color.

Now is not the time for Canadians to be sanctimonious. It is time for us to be prudent and active.
