    Abstract
    i have big feelings attempts to bring into conversation several influential modes of thought in contemporary transnational, feminist, queer, and affective critical theory. The exhibition comprises an installation of larger-than-life-size aluminum mesh disproportioned bodies suspended in a web of strings, and a suite of monotype prints describing similarly disfigured subjects, all grappling with relationality. My methodology in this effort is informed by the conceptual underpinnings and sensibility afforded me by a printmaking background, and the work itself seeks to play expansively with printmaking to the point of frayed medium specificity. The show relies on a building up of layers to put disparate ideas into conversation with each other and highlights the moment of encounter as a constitutive force. The work raises questions around communitarian and relational interaction and the constitutive effects of discourse and encounter. Through minoritarian performances, it seeks to escape the totalizing present of modernity and to locate utopian openings in modernist discourse through the mining for traces of a queer past in the present.
