Heather Raquel Phillips’ creates critical and celebratory disruptions that welcomes conversations about power, deviance, failure and desire. DIY aesthetics inform the photography, video, objects and Tex(T)iles* through the use of dark humor and camp techniques. Fiction and fact cavort to build futuristic analog utopias, where insults and stereotypes are appropriated and the abject are embraced making way for new visibilities, agencies and liberations.
