Opening Reception: Friday, June 2, 7-10 pm

TRANS/HUMAN imagines a future where gender is untethered from the body and we are able to transform at will. H Boone creates glitched, biomorphic sculptures by augmenting 3D scans of Buffalo’s trans and gender-nonconforming community. The artist uploads bodies, modifies them digitally, then squirts them into the tangible through 3D printing. Shimmering and distorted, the digital/physical duality in these sculptures reflect the fluctuating nature of being gender nonconforming today. These works move beyond mere representation to glorify trans metamorphosis. This ongoing project reflects the artist’s desire to combine science fiction, queer world-building, and building trans community through art.
