London based artist El(ena) Hoskyns-Abrahall (they/he) shares their debut solo exhibition exploring gender through the lens of the trans-masculine experience. El(ena)’s practice sits in a place of transition, finding and excavating what it means to be in progress or in the midst of process. When a transgender person begins medical transition it is almost as if they are transported to a point of adolescence again. Voice cracks, skin changes, body odour, new hair growth and more emotions than you know what to do with are all textbook for the adolescent experience, but pair this with choice, with wanting, with needing, and you have second-adolescence. Where often there is embarrassment or shame, instead you find bliss.
