Kyle prefers to be called Kyle. Just Kyle. She made all of this “to deal.” She painted, sewed and stained these pieces to speak of what troubles her in her private mind. After years of dysphoria, she is coping and overcoming the hindrance of other people's perception of her body and its functions. The use of menstrual blood in art has been part of that overcoming. In these pieces, she uses the external and internal of the body to explore craft and its relationship to gender. Through these menstrual images she hopes to create a relatable narrative about social conceptions of gender and menstruation. She extends an invitation to view these suspended moments to help others “to deal.”
