About Felix Gray
Born six months before Y2K, CE of course, she lived through middle school (via homeschooling), then went to some university for three years or something and subsequently forgot all about it. She finds art within the objects that surround her, and finds time to draw the world from her perspective. She lies about being a painter, boasts about being a sculptor, failed at being a printmaker, and overthinks a lot.
She can be found writing genderfluid poems in a field, idolizing Miley Cyrus, feeding the masses, and sitting on the couch solving sudoku.
You won't catch her reading nonfiction (unless it's under 80 pages), eating kale, or shopping at an Old Nelson's, but you will notice her fascination with concepts like Nature and Culture, food consumption, mass production vs hand crafting, celebrity, honesty, identity, and monetary value will show up on this website for decades to come.

Photo Collage
I found that during quarantine I spent a lot of time looking at myself. Myself in the mirror everyday, which slowly become one blur, and all the past iterations of what I have looked like. I find it strange that I'm so comfortable with seeing the way I presented in the past even as a trans woman. At the same time I don't really see the gender that other people have placed upon the person in these photos. What stands out to me is my clothes, the length of my hair, my glasses. I've had no other choice than to embrace wholeheartedly how I look(ed). These things change, but I retain bits and pieces of all those versions of me, and someday I'll have a collage to fill the entire room.
