FISH: A Matrilineage of Cunty White-Woman Realness (2008) is an extension of a life-long feminist dialogue with the artist’s mother, Penny Sori. Utilizing a coded language of contemporary and historical queer vernacular, the syncopated language is a conduit between the second-wave and the new-wave/future. The intergenerational dialogue addresses their relationship and their respective cultural and political positions as women.
