Liquid Persona

A life in three parts. Momo Gordon’s taste for memories finds them excavating the past. Using their family history as a dig site, they draw upon artifacts to map out their story. In haunting panels, this collection of journal comics bleeds through to the present. Slowly, the liquid persona reveals itself. Limited to 1000 copies, each book is a unique handmade object, with text pages cut by hand. Momo Gordon is a self-taught artist focused on the emotional landscape. Based in Portland, Oregon, working primarily with graphite and handmade paper, their work explores sentient spaces, hostile architecture, and anthropomorphized objects. In sequential works or standalone pieces, characters often have four walls. You may have seen their work at Fisk Gallery, Dale Zine, or VROOM. And published by Kuš!, Can Can Press, Colorama, and Nieves Books.
