Abstract
Geometries of Absence explores themes of queer abstraction through weaving and drawing. It engages an epistolary praxis in queer textiles scholarship to document gay marriage over long distance in the context of the contemporary political climate. Three weavings at the intersection of tapestry, drawing, and painting, rooted in Jose Esteban Munoz's theory of queer horizons illustrate the ideas put forth.
