They Fairy (2019) frames femme portraits alongside erasures of the source text, a childhood tale of fairy adventures published in 1913. Gilded with oval frames, the portraits resemble paper dolls with halos. The erasure pages draw attention to words like "they," "them," "their" and "theirselves." A meditation on how nonbinary embodiment is narrativized.
