Cruising Utopian Space

In deep respect for jose Esteban Munoz's text Cruising Utopia I search for future space. Space that can occupy the queer. Moments of everyday life where the physical world and its representation create a riff large enough for the queer to populate; functioning as part narrative and part investigation

“To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything." - Joan Didion . We are worth it and our bodies are ours. We have everything and we need to remind each other of this every damn day until others realize it. . #thegoodfight #neverideal #mask4masc #queerasfuck #queerart #stayqueerasfuck #instagay #homo #scruff #gay #queer #snagmember #ajfishere #quotestoliveby #quotes #mask #fringe https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSTYUUgBMs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9m3kv2mv4cid

Bringing the halo back to jewelry....if it ever left "Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semitransparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end." -Virginia Woolf #wearablehustle #snagmember #ajfishere #queerasfuck #instagay #instascruff #beardedhomo #scruff #gaystockholm @jewelleryactivist (at Iaspis Konstnärsnämnden)

The first piece I started setting semi precious stones into leather two years ago. Good to see it's still alive and worn. It initiated a now lasting friendship and I am happy it lives in Munich. . #wearablehustle #snagmember #ajfishere #leather #jewelleryactivist (at Munich, Germany)
