Trans America
Artist: Qori Moorehaul
View more works by Qori Moorehaul on Instagram: @qorimoorehaul
I love painting flags. It started years ago with American flags ripped, on fire, not nice looking. I used heavy black lines to connect everything. Very wavy lines. Like neuron-connectors in the brain. With India ink! In 2021 I got heavily into doing Pride flags in this style. This is Trans American, one of the Trans Flags I have made. It shows how we are all connected. How all aspects and genders connect to one thing: a whole person. I love the colors of the trans flag, I like squigly bits and drips. It feels like expression to me. This is expressing myself as a trans person through our specific Pride flag!

HOW TO HOLD A NONBINARY DYKE BODY is born from a collection of mantras, reminders, and affirmations for when I first came into my identity. It was written to ensure I never forget how to hold what I am, and to do so stubbornly, confidently, and gently all at once.

We Are Everywhere - Clumpy Woods.docxAbove
Artist: Marco, Riders and Racers
Medium: Literary art
We Are Everywhere is a poem about reminding all gender diverse people of the power our joy, our lives, and our unique perspectives have even in the face of political scapegoating. We are people, just like anyone else, and we have a right to life happy, healthy lives as our whole selves, and this poem, I hope, serves as a reminder of that, when hateful people want you to forget that and make you small, with the first stanza meant to counter the transphobia occuring in the UK, where I live, right now. This poem was inspired by the song Statue in The Square by Kae Tempest, the work of The Gender Doula, and the book Hello Cruel World by Kate Bornstein, and I hope this poem helps you, too.

My poem entitled "A Boy Made of Stars and Sky" is a meditation on abstract experiences of gender euphoria, through my eyes and somatic experiences. It embraces the parts of trans-masculine identity that differ from traditional manhood. It celebrates and envisions a future of masculinity that is soft, gentle, and in tune with the earth. This poem is a portrait of the man that I have begun the process of becoming. It is a love letter to myself and all the other transmasculine people I am in community with and those I have yet to meet.

Inspired by Kintsugi, a centuries old Japanese technique where pottery is mended by seams of gold and an object is celebrated for its history, breakage, and repair, this self portrait seeks to explore this concept in relationship to oneself. This work reflects the experiences of a transgender artist who is celebrating imperfections, healing, strength, joy, and the beauty that lies within by covering his gender affirmation surgery scars with gold.

I am a current Master of Fine Arts candidate at Montana State University focusing on explorations of queer identity through painting. I use painting as a way to explore the hope I have for a future free of fear and turmoil through abstract landscapes. It breaks down to a belief that queer life can never fully be eradicated, that the earth will remember us, and our history will still remain despite attempts to destroy it. This piece in particular is part of my exploration with destructive elements as a form of painting (fire, in this case), and my continued exploration of queerness outside of the bodily connotation.

I recontextualize 'The Creation of Adam' by depicting the biblical figure becoming the creator, rather than only the creation. Through surgical means Adam takes ownership and exerts his bodily autonomy. I scanned my own used testosterone gel packets and the medical warning packet that comes with each prescription. The expiration date on the hormone packets have been edited to read "Book of Genesis Exp 1:27." This refers to the Bible passage in which God creates mankind in his own image

Being trans is a constant reassertion of what it means to be yourself on your own terms. From your name, to your body, to the space you occupy, every trace of you is chosen with care. To see a trans person's life is to see something purposeful — it's to see art.

Yaoi Cards

Please contact transjoygallery@gmail.com with purchase inquiries.
Basil MacLachlan’s Yaoi Cards are a series of 4”x3” collage cards that explore the queering of the status quo. So often are we bombarded with heteropatriarchal marketing throughout printed media. These cards recombine heterosexual media, such as baseball cards, playboy and sports magazines, fundamentalist Christian texts, hentai, pornography, fashion magazines, and others, into new queer forms. All this to say I originally wanted to make the guys on baseball cards kiss. Experience queer joy and laughter through Yaoi Cards!

Moi
Artist: J A Thompson
Medium: Mixed media on canvas, 18”x24”
This piece is one part of an in progress diptych that represents the sides of my identity as a genderfluid person. The piece is a portrait of myself mimicking the pose of the art historical painting “Portrait of Martha De Florian” by Giovanni Boldini. It is a statement both on the feminine side of my identity and the lack of plus size models in art historical portraits, especially portrayed in the nude. The color scheme is representative of the femininity associated with the color pink, but also with a trend widely associated with girls my age during my childhood of the hot pink and zebra stripe combo. The pink also paying homage to the original painting.

Medium: Acrylic Paint and Texture Paste. 2022.
I started painting portraits at the beginning of my medical transition, and would often use my own likeness as a reference for practice. Each portrait revealed the unconscious way I thought about myself and my image. While painting this piece, my vision of myself was constantly shifting based on where I was in my transition, how I was being perceived, and how I felt when I was by myself. This was my first abstract portrait, and I had the most fun experimenting with texture and dimension to mimic the bubbles and rough ripples of the water.

“You know where to find me” is an exploration of my identity as a trans person. The painting explores the societal understanding of submission and dominance going hand in hand with gender, and my urges to go beyond that. As a trans masc person, I feel like I must be dominant in all aspects of life as that is what men are taught to do. However, what if that is not who I am?
A Calming Embrace

Medium: Digital
I have always loved radical artwork that celebrated the human body and human sexual expression, but I was always left feeling down after going to art fairs and seeing many different representations of bodies and sexuality but never seeing any trans bodies. I realized if I want this to exist, I might have to start trying to create it myself. I am in no way the best artist, but I am proud of the work I created and will continue to try to create more variations of trans bodies in artwork, by themselves, in different relationships, as well as including trans masc representation. This is a piece of digital artwork that was first sketched onto paper and then turned into a digital piece so that more detail could be brought to the vision. It is of two femmes cuddling on a blanket in the grass. At least one of the people drawn is a trans female, the other person can be and can also not be trans.
A Mother's Love is Unconditional
Artist: Meli Jackson
Medium: Digital
Nature was always a way for me to escape the negativity and just reconnect with the natural world around me and ground myself in what is real. The earth never cared what I identified as or what bathroom I used, it accepted me, warmed my skin, and allowed me to just exist without worry. I think exploring nature was my first experience of trans joy.

This play was created from my own personal experience about realizing who I was. Amy represents all the trans friends I made along the way who took one look at me and were like "Oh she's trans as hell!". It was a long road to realization; about four years or more for me. I wish I had an Amy sooner, someone to knock me over the head and be like "Hey, dudette, you're a girl." I suppose you can't rush perfection though~!

This digital image is from a looping film of me playing my trans masculine, Chinese human and femme identities… This poem was in English translated into Cantonese and then when I blacked out the words we had to work with the translation again as Cantonese does not have an alphabet, just characters. Self expression is huge for me because of my transmasculine identity and my intersections as a poor, disabled, BIPoC artist. The props I used are traditional Chinese medicines and I wanted to share the world and uphold space for my trans identity.
