Chaffin’s multidisciplinary practice enlists materials and production methods which embrace wear, marred surfaces and complete disruption through performative productions and actions. Concerned with examining strategies of queer visibility, labor and communication, Chaffin’s practice honors the invisible labor of his queer forefolks - those who envisioned the utopic through centering experimentation as well as those who sought the future through the radical act of survival.
