Climbing Out
61 x 16”
Pieced, quilted, and appliquéd hand-dyed cotton.
The phrase coming out has lost much of its specificity. Despite its rich history in LGBTQ+
communities, it is now frequently used to refer to bringing almost any personal status or
characteristic into public view. Besides, the phrase never fully captured the amount of
psychological and physical energy the process can consume; and it wrongly implies, at least for
some, that it’s a one-time, all-or-nothing event, when nothing could be further from the truth. It
seems to me, Climbing Out is a better descriptor and the ladder an apt metaphor, even though we
often find yet another rung when we thought we had reached the light!
