Love is Love is Love (It’s a Riot) 2025

$875.00

Love is Love is Love (It’s a Riot)
2024

*50% of this sale will be donated to The 519 (or another LGBTQ+ support charity of the purchaser’s wishes).

At first glance, this piece may dazzle with its vivid palette—fiery reds, electric greens, and streaks of urgency across the chest. But beneath the beauty lies fury, friction, and fire. This is not a rainbow-washed celebration. It’s an indictment of performative allyship and a reminder that Pride began as a protest. The title confronts the popular slogan “Love is Love,” calling out its oversimplification. For many, queerness isn’t safe, accepted, or adored—it’s still political, still dangerous, still radical. This cast demands more than visibility; it demands accountability. Each explosive stroke reflects the complexity of queer identity: joy, pain, resistance, survival. It’s a riot in both the literal and metaphorical sense—messy, defiant, unapologetically loud. This piece urges viewers to look past the glitter and into the flames, asking: Are you here for the party, or the protest?

My work takes place on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron and Wendat peoples. I’m ever-grateful to learn and create on Turtle Island. I do my best to create art in a way that welcomes, includes and advocates for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC peoples and humans who live with disabilities. Please feel free to connect with me if you’d like to have a further conversation about how I might make things more equitable for you if you are not feeling seen in my process or work.
