San Mei Gallery is pleased to present two readings by artist Frances Whorrall-Campbell, Three Sisters and Stone Butch Redux.

Three Sisters is a voice unfolding. An alternative mythos of creation, springing forth from a queer numerology, is presented via an investigation into the fundamental instability of the ‘third’ in a world more comfortable with binaries and couples.  

Contrary to this fluidity, Stone Butch Redux, takes the form of a stuttering incantation that can never name its object. The artist’s voice skips and jumps, like a bad tape or someone pressing fast-forward. Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues is reduced to a kind of psychedelic Freudianism, where uncertainty meets urgency.
