Being an artist is, for me, also an act of existence.
As a gay man and an independent textile artist, every piece born in this studio carries a piece of my story and the certainty that art and affection need no permission to exist.
This space is dedicated to the whole LGBTQIAPN+ community: to the people who keep creating, loving and resisting every single day, and to those still finding the courage to be who they are.
Pride is not a month on the calendar. It is every day we choose to exist in full.
The art you see on this website is born from that place: from a body, a story and a community that deserves to be seen, celebrated and respected.
If you see yourself here, welcome. This space is yours too.
With affection and resistance,
Rod
