EVERYTHING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN is a chorus of unfulfilled expectations. If you were born to become a mother, what happens when you choose infertility? Goico’s ``failures” in womanhood reinforce trans identity as counter cultural narrative. Goico explores ideas of dyke gender expression, hetero-essentialism, and identity dispossession. The artist aims to redefine their role in a world in which they were never accounted for. Goico’s painting and performance grapple with who they are in relation to who they were supposed to become.
