Kelly Chuning - This project examines my sexual identity through stigmas of my exterior persona. I am told my body mimics that of a child and nothing more—never sexy or sensual, but cute and tiny. I found these perceptions problematic while growing into my sexuality, where my upbringing inherently caused shame and embarrassment indulging in any erotic acts. I am divided between immaturity and maturity.
Adult novelty "toys" and childhood toys are both means for which one finds escape and nostalgia. The use of adult sex toys serves the purpose of sexuality and acts as a totem for adulthood, while the brightly colored substance pooling around these toys mimic that of overtly sexualized fluids sparked with commercialism; while the fluid itself is children's glitter glue. It is an infantile interaction, shedding light on societal comfort and escapism.

Shanisia Person is a NB AfroLatinx multimedia erotic artist, they use their work to express their complex feelings about sexuality, which they believe rules everything in its own bizarre interconnected way. Whether it be BDSM or just conversation on gender, they allow the material to facilitate the decisions going into a painting. They expand on the topics and material they work with consistently, from PVC to leaves to canvas the theme stays the same. Included in this show are the GAG’d GXRLS, this is from an illustrative series in which I hoped to explore what BDSM would look like in different worlds. Starting with the tools, I inevitably wanted to see who these items would be used on and created a group of femmes who were both intimidating and powerful, and owned and reveled in their own pain. I thought it important, though I almost always depict womxn and femmes in a place of control and power, to show femininity in a submissive role that still maintains the status of strength. This is where the use of canonically and iconically powerful monsters became important, culturally these three are viewed as fearsome and strong. Which I feel one must be to accept and own their pain, ultimately saying, especially as submissive they are still in a place of control and strength.
