Edie Fake’s work envisions ecstatic architectures that channel the intentions and complexities of bodies and communities. His drawings use a vocabulary of ornamentation to embody the intricacy and unconventionality of queer life and history. The edition SRO is a three-layer silkscreen print that riffs on "single room occupancy" housing. SRO remodels the constraints of a room/self into a boundless structure, mirroring the potential of trans- identities to make gender a limitless site of residence.
