Welcome to MAGGIELAND!
I am a multimedia artist and circus performer in Humboldt and the Bay Area. In depicting queer stories through a fashionable, colorful, fantasy utopia world as well as creating work that celebrates femme sexuality as something that exists independently from men, my work challenges the male gaze and questions what identity means and looks like outside of the binary categories enforced upon us by society. I get my inspiration from fashion and pop culture, surrealism, rave and club culture, and childhood nostalgia. Throughout my work in all mediums over the past year or so, I have been building a colorful landscape of fashionable weirdness to depict in visual language the world that I live in inside my head. A world where everything is rainbow, the ground is covered in checkerboard dance floors, the mountains are round and blob shaped, dance music fills the air, and the moon is a disco ball.
I hope that my work in some way resonates with you, or at least makes your day a little more colorful.
