Mark Aguhar (1987-2012)

Artist Statement (from markaguhar.com):

“Mark Aguhar’s work is a continuous exploration of queer expression and what it means to have grown up gay on the internet. Aguhar collects visual artifacts from queer online communities and uses them in their work to define and redefine who they are and what their body is. Aguhar’s work that combines porn, fashion, textile patterns, optical effects, trans identities, and queer jokes. They not intend to make teaching work, or art to represent the entirety of the LGBTIQA community, they express their situated experience of the spectrum. ”

Fascinating stuff. Her death is a great loss.

Update: Okay, I’ve mulled over this. I can’t find appropriate words, even “is a great loss” sounds too much a) like a loss of value, which is possessive and bullshit and b) focused on me, a cis whit person who just discovered her and her art an hour ago. Go read other people’s texts, even the comments under the pretty queer text lined above, if you’re interested. Hat tip to @land_unter for the pretty queer article.
