Moles is multi-media self-examination. This autobiographical web narrative uses moles, the marks on my body, as a navigational device. The moles are coordinates of a personal map, interconnected narratives on different regions of my body. Through these narratives I construct my gay identity.

The site has a clinical aesthetic look, typical of autopsy records, x-rays, or other medical procedures that fragment the body as a part of the diagnostic process. I treat the body as both a medical entity as well as an intimate site to recall memories. By setting up a tension between the personal nature of the story and the clinical design of the site, I am commenting on how our notion of public and private is continuously challenged by the increasingly technologized environment in which we live.

As a cultural producer and feminist, what interests me is to make visible what is invisible in both political and personal arenas.
Interested in new approaches to community collaborations, media literacy, and youth produtions, I have found that personal narrative can serve as a tool to break down stereotypes and visualize experiences and perspectives that are not reflected in the art world or in our society at large. Personal accounts of marginalized experiences forcefully challenge both internal and external
assumptions about our access to power and our potential as artists and agents of change. The challenge to write my own narrative was inspired by my work with young artists, who I have asked to visualize the difficulties, challenges, and insights of their own experience.
