Anna Sisson Queer Prayer Sculpture
This work Queer Prayer Anna Sisson explores the tension and strength between queerness and spiritual. While queerness has an ancient history of being the embodiment of spirituality, now queerness is often banished from spiritual spaces. Sisson strives to create artworks that recreate an accepting space and allow the viewer moments of spiritual freedom.
