pangolin buddy says bi pride
Knit, crochet, and acrylic on canvas, 2024. 12x16, mounted in a white wood floater frame.
The pangolin is the most trafficked species in the world. They are the only mammals wholly covered in scales and they use those scales to protect themselves from predators in the wild. If under threat, a pangolin will immediately curl into a tight ball and will use their sharp-scaled tails to defend themselves. In this piece, the pangolin is exposing not only its vulnerable belly but is also holding its heart in its hands - an abstract and wild heart. This piece is metaphorical to the artist's journey of exploring her queer identity, as well as the vulnerability of the queer community and the way in which we relate to the world.
