Tali’s work explores the complexities of queerness, sexuality, gender and its aesthetics through weaving, painting, drawing, collage, artist sketchbooks, makeup, drag and installation. Their practice is informed by collage and exploring the layers of intersectionality in art, identity, and existence.

They are a nonbinary Jewish artist, raised Orthodox in East Lakeview, Chicago’s predominantly gay neighborhood. They have been a part of the queer techno scene in Chicago for eight years, where they perform, document, and display elaborate makeup looks. With this documentation and through the use of self portraiture they explore drag and gender performativity.
