the whothat resides
in the sheets
XeO is a gender-obsessed mark-maker in transit. XeO’s creative interests tend toward hypertextural renderings and colorplay using graphite and colored pencil. XeO subverts the ostentatious realm of fine arts by asserting the artistic value of otherwise overlooked formats, such as zines/comics/graphic illustration, textile creatures, gifted minutia, fashion, body modification and adornment as art that permeates daily life.
XeO is enamored with queer bodies, interactivity, monetary rejection, and mediums which allow souls to germinate within crafted objects.
