Alex graduated from MICA's Photographic and Electronic Media MFA program in 2020. For his thesis capstone, he developed an interactive exploration of how social media platforms censor disenfranchised groups, specifically (queer) people of color—it featured his frequent collaborator, local drag queen Kelsey Kadaver. Alex’s biggest artistic influences include Andy Warhol, Keith Harring, Ken Russell, Dario Argento, and all of Prince’s protégés.
