What is your specialty, what makes your work unique? Or place your artist's statement.

As a non-binary intersectional trans-feminist, Daisy Gianoli uses their works as a means to question, challenge, and undermine preconceptions concerning physical body norms and framing based on appearance. Therefore Gianoli’s work builds on the structures of the graphic novel and the (artist) zine to facilitate a way of working that can encompass a lot of ideas, thoughts, positions and statements, while it also provides an interactive experience for the spectator. By executing their work not just in paper, but using textiles as well, Gianoli adds a tactile layer to their work. 
While the format of the zine originated in the LGBTQIA+ community as an underground and activist instrument, Gianoli utilises the characteristics of the zine to further challenge preconceptions beyond gender-bias or sexual preferences. By embedding their work in intersectional trans-feminism, Gianoli connects the ideologies of feminism to a broader perspective, challenging systemic inequality of minority communities and bypassing a visual language that speaks merely to the privileged.
