Translucent (2022)

“Translucent is a series of oil paintings looking at different aspects of my existence as a trans person and the sociopolitical lens that permeates through and examines every aspect of my person. 

 By putting a face to the often-maligned trans experience I hope to confront the viewer with the very humanity of those on the receiving end of political maneuvering and fearmongering.  

As a queer artist I feel I have a unique perspective and privilege to help visualise aspects of this lived experience ,and to help forward social acceptance in our ever-changing world.”

-Sky Porter (2022)
