kavi (they/them) is a handpoke artist who sees the art of tattooing as deeply linked to body reclamation and liberation, and is inspired by all forms of transgender/transsexual body modification. their work aims to tie physical form to the things that make us us, especially through their topography series (memorializing a loved place as an abstract tattoo based on the topographical map) and stained glass custom work. they are also a big proponent of tattoos as exterior decoration.
