Liberty Morey
Liberty Morey (they/them and he/him) is a queer interdisciplinary artist residing in Portland, OR. Their work draws from elements of trans identity, feminism, and capitalism in contemporary society. Liberty’s work strives to recenter personal identity as a source of strength to wield within the binary driven world. They are a proud art school drop out. For Gender Euphoria, Liberty will host a zine making workshop inviting participants to explore personal identity, gender, and bodies through a creative lens.

“And from a wave of the mind’s eye, the comparative universe sped.”
“Gender euphoria for me comes from instances in which the body becomes abstracted outside the realm of the gender binary. To have no notion of feminine, masculine or any other confines is where true freedom of expression and existence reside. The work included in this exhibition explores this realm in which the body can be reduced to its cells and the organs and tissues become the stuff of daydreams or expansive landscapes.”
