This series of photographs was conceived out of considerations around how queer and Indigenous bodies are monitored and visibly minimized in public spaces. Trees act as an analogy to locate vulnerable identities that are easily removed to make room for more infrastructure, a better view, an industrious purpose or to make space for another body. 

Made Space lyrically considers those who were here before and provokes an opportunity to honour the bodies that have been displaced and targeted as too unattractive, vulnerable, diseased or dangerous. The work also questions how some of us are welcomed to use space, while other bodies, certain bodies, who have their roots firm in the ground, are not welcomed at all.
