About

Catching on Thieves is from West Palm Beach, Florida. Her parents immigrated from Kingston, Jamaica and Lahore, Pakistan. Her high school was a stone’s throw from Mar-a-Lago. She first learned about being trans from online porn. While her heart belongs to the cinema, she likes to say that she is polyamorous about her art practice: working across drawing, writing, painting, sculpting, photographing and performing, whatever gets the job done. Currently, she is producing a multimedia docu-series fundraiser about the complicated functions of our noses, both literally and literary, through the lens of evolutionary biology, history and that persnickety weapon of poetry, thought and law, language. The work will culminate in a revision rhinoplasty to repair the complications that arose from a negligent Facial Feminization Surgery she had in the fall of 2021. The resulting organ will exist as a living sculpture. Oh, and the piece is called Catching on The Nose.
