We took a bitmap image into Illustrator, converted it into a vector file and cut ruby lith with it. We treated the ruby as a film positive in order to shoot a screen for screen printing.

Almost done. It almost looks like it will really work.

These photos are about how women’s queer and lesbian identities are deemed as predatory under patriarchy, and being one makes it easy to identify with monstrosity. I chose vampires as the perfect representation upon discovering Sheridan Le Fanu's vampire novel Carmilla, that was published two decades before Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Upon discovering the novel, I thought that it was so cool that the girl vampire was gay, and she quickly became my favorite character, which was worrisome because she’s supposed to be a villain. I kept Guillermo del Toro’s work in mind, thinking about how he often uses monsters and supernatural elements in his films as analogies for real life horrors. The alienation and antagonization of her character mirrors reality in the sense of what it’s like to be different from the norm, and how the world treats these qualities. These photos express how living in a culture where misogyny and heteronormativity is so entrenched in everything makes us think about ourselves. Gross, predatory, and deviant.
Estas fotos tratan de cómo mujeres gays y lesbianas son vistxs como depredadorxs bajo el patriarcado, y la manera que nuestras identidades son marginadas y nos acercan a identificarnos con monstruosidad. Tome el vampirÃsmo como representación de este concepto al descubrir la novela Carmilla escrita por Sheridan le Fanu, que de hecho salió dos décadas antes que Drácula de Bram Stoker. Pensaba que era genial que la chica vampira era gay, y rápidamente se convirtió en mi personaje favorito, cosa que fue preocupante porque se supone que ella es la villana. TenÃa en mente las pelÃculas de Guillermo del Toro, porque el frecuentemente usa los monstruos o elementos sobrenaturales como analogÃas. La antagonización y la alienación de el personaje refleja la realidad en el sentido de cómo se siente no pertenecer a la norma, y la manera a la que el mundo trata a esas cualidades. Con estas fotos expreso como vivir en una cultura donde la heteronormatividad machista que está arraigada en todas partes y nos cria a todxs influye lo que pensamos sobre nosotrxs. Rarxs, y asquerosxs.
