Brian Christopher Glaser
MFA ’09 Fine Arts 3D
As a queer artist who pulls from personal and culturally specific histories, my work in sculpture and collage deals with concealing or not concealing gay content—highlighting the lived tension of visibility and invisibility for queer people. In distorting highly coded images, symbols, and forms of idealized, muscular, heteronormative bodies, I make work that converges on the concepts of longing, distance, shame, the confusion of physical and virtual selfhood, and the discovery and acceptance of pleasure.
