Esse McChesney is a textile artist based in Gothenburg, who works mostly with weaving and

embroidery. They create textile art that reflects their perspective as a queer trans person. They

like to see their art as an example of being — a stamp of the time we live in — demonstrating

queer experiences that lay a piece of the puzzle that is the experience of humanity. This perspective is present in their most recurring theme, the feeling of simultaneous longing and

worry. Such intertwining opposites are reflected in their work in different forms, like contrasting

colors, digital/physical, and play/seriousness
