“Girl Next Door” is a painting, sculptural and text based exhibition that explores the memoirs of a trans girl in love and intimacy. Through abstraction Mossy depicts the flying colours felt in romance and release, passionate and pastel in colour they reference the body and feminine sensuality. The text explores intimate story telling, unpacking the fraught complexities of the cisgendered rendering of trans women highlighting how love, lust, ignorance and shame can co-exist. Sculptural works speak to the objectification of trans women whilst being relatable to the body in space further humanising their beauty and calling for acceptance.

Mossy 333 (Mossy Jade Johnson) is a multi-disciplinary artist working in performance, painting, sculpture and tattoo. Across these mediums she adopts abstraction as a tool to navigate her body in biology and spirit, and explore public and private spaces as a trans woman. Her work seeks to bring trans people and their narratives into conversation through representation in hopes to combat the ongoing violence of transphobia. Mossy has performed and shared work at Arts Centre Melbourne, ACCA, M Pavillion, RMIT Design hub and PICA.
