Erospace, 2017-Ongoing

Erospace is a series of multidisciplinary experiments exploring how women access their erotic selves. The work grows out of my own process of rediscovery and asks how we can reclaim pleasure, curiosity, and play as creative forces.

Since 2018, Erospace has taken shape through workshops, oral histories, and visual experiments.

Early explorations included a photography and collage workshop for women at Good for Her, a sexuality store in Toronto, and a series of oral history interviews about how women enter and experience erotic space, both alone and with others.

In 2019, I received a fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, for By Nature Much Delight, a work-in-progress investigating how women’s pleasure was imagined in Renaissance midwifery manuals. That same spirit of inquiry later led to Melting Point (2022), an award-winning queer experimental short filmed with a thermal camera that records temperature instead of light. Abstracting the erotic in this way revealed not only physical heat but also the joy and connection that arise when we give ourselves permission to play freely.

Erospace continues to evolve as an open field of artistic research into aliveness for everyone, not just women.
