Artist Statement

Throughout the process and the work conducted over the course of last year, I have been thinking primarily about the concepts of visibility, concealment, and disguise through the lens of queer experience merged with classic taxi visual elements. These concepts are the intersection between the two, so to say, like a traffic intersection. Additionally, thought has been imbued about the ideas of commitment, return, revisiting, repetition, and uniformity.

Andy Rubio is a Queer, Trans*, and mixed-race artist practicing in Mohkinstsis, Treaty 7 Land Territory. Through processes of printmaking, primarily silkscreen, they enjoy exploring themes and experiences of Queer visibility, liminal space, representation, commodification, and nostalgia, along with imagery related to automobiles, dead animals, and anthropomorphic taxis.
