In the finale to this series on ceramics and the body, artist and trans activist Mac McCusker discusses the ways in which they use their own body in their work, exploring the realities of transition, political policy, and the flimsy nature of gender binaries. We also talk about the ways in which their visibility as a transgender artist has impacted their career and everyday life.
