Description
Using the artist's close friends and trans siblings as stand-ins for biological family, Houston's images
'manifest a desire to have unconditional relationships' without losing the landscape they grew up
in. The images are made up of materials fundamental to queer nightlife and include friends, family,
partners, interiors, and landscapes addressing the multi-layered erasure queer communities have
experienced.
