Central to Mossy Jade’s artistic practice is the practice of world-building. Her performance and painting practices serve as both an act of resistance and a celebration of identity, representing not only her own but also the experiences of other transgender individuals.  

During her residency at PICA Mossy Jade will delve into physical research and experimentation to deepen the integration of her painting practice with physical performance. She will develop a body of painting work while simultaneously documenting the process. These documentation recordings will act as research material for informing larger physical performance pieces in the future and performance footage for installation or exhibition.
