The artist is known for working in a wide range of media and materials, including blood, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fan art, crab carapaces, Swiffers and Minions paraphernalia. Their 2015 exhibition HorseshoeCrabs HorseshoeCrabs at the Freddy Gallery, Baltimore displayed various artistic interpretations of the horseshoe crab, an arthropod whose blood is often drained for use in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In 2016 they participated in the Berlin Biennale, presenting a new video each day of the biennale. In 2017 their work Liberté was included in the Whitney Biennial. The piece involved a performer wearing a green gown along with a crown standing on an outdoor terrace of the Whitney Museum; simultaneously, the Whitney's gift shop sold $5 liberty crowns to visitors. Their 2019 solo show at Remai Modern in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan engaged blood as a subject. The exhibition displayed a bag of the artist's own blood, as well as providing on-site HIV testing and blood donation services to visitors.
