The French-language Methodical Encyclopaedia of 1782 defines a menagerie as an "establishment of luxury and curiosity".

Menagerie is a collection of studies intended for larger relief works.

Menagerie reflects my experience as an outsider to gay culture. Inclusivity is not guaranteed. Growing up bipoc in New York City, the consumption of homosexuality was homogenized into an idealized sexual physique.

Varying in sizes, generally 8”x 6”, these works are exhibited both through large scale installation and book form.
