Artist Quincey MiracleQuincey Miracle (they/he) is a transmasc/nonbinary visual artist, graduate of Spokane Falls Community College, and MFA graduate from the University at Buffalo working in sculpture, installation, and performative action. It’s Easy to Get Lost Here is an exploration of the transformative nature of blanket forts, treehouses, and other makeshift childhood structures. Using reclaimed materials, textiles, and video, the exhibit presents a series of impermanent constructions that investigate the formation of queer identity in adolescence and the act of trauma processing in adulthood.
