Hi! I'm Mothh. Art has always been how I make sense of my world—it’s my permission slip for experimentation and adventure, especially when I find myself bracing against life with fear. My art, work, and life feel inseparable. They encompass everything from spiritual and political studies to visual art and stripping. My creative energy arrives in different forms—like fuel options at a gas pump—and I choose the medium that takes the fuel I’ve got in that moment.
I’m a Southerner, raised in Georgia and now based in Upstate New York. I’m mixed Taiwanese-American and queer. Diaspora kids and queers are the communities that have shaped me, who inspire me, and who I dream for.
