Using the artist’s close friends and trans siblings as stand-ins for biological family, Houston’s images
‘manifest a desire to have unconditional relationships’ without losing the landscape they grew up
in. The images are made up of materials fundamental to queer nightlife and include friends, family,
partners, interiors, and landscapes addressing the multi-layered erasure queer communities have
experienced.
J Houston was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with
a focus in art and gender theory. J has received grants from Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative
Inquiry, Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, and Carnegie Mellon University. Their photo work on
Pittsburgh’s queer community was a finalist for the Duke CDS Essay Prize and Silver Eye Center
for Photography’s fellowship program, and their work has been shown at Houston Center for
Photography, Turner Contemporary, Aviary Gallery, Amos Eno Gallery, Contact Gallery, Miller
Institute of Contemporary Art, Siena Heights University, and New York Photo Festival, among
others.
