About

Lake (they/them) is a queer, multidisciplinary artist and advocate based in Minneapolis, MN. They are focused predominantly on digital illustration and storytelling, creating artwork that reflects both nuanced personal experiences and materials which support community advocacy and education. Lake’s work examines concepts surrounding gender & sexuality, care work, community development, liminality, and body politics in connection to diabetes, healthcare, and accessibility. 

Their work seeks to create a laminant liminal space, where:

• Laminated structures are built up of layers | we recognize the multiplicity and contradictory facets of identity
• Lamination is a process of layering material to create a composite strength and stability | we are grounded in collective care 
• Assembled with permanency, with heat and pressure | we exist in the face of forces working against us
