Podcast Ep. #1 - Elster's interview for #Sacrifice_Stories
Listen to Elster talk about her experience of coming out as trans in regional Queensland and the sacrifices required in becoming her true self. Elster was the first person I interviewed and photographed when I was invited to be artist in residence for a whole week at the Bundaberg Regional Art Galleries. After several very turbulent weeks in my personal life, being able to listen to a young person speak of facing adversity in such a candid and honest way was a very grounding experience.
