I'm thrilled to be part of @revue-esse.bsky.social 113: Plastics! My essay “Queer Femme Plastic Aesthetics: Plasticity & Performativity” draws on Nicole Seymour's *Glitter* & Lex M. Lancaster's *Dragging Away* to analyze affective plastic materiality in Sky Heyn Cubacub's & Tia Halliday's artwork. 💖
