Lessons from a Starfish or Self Portrait at Work' takes inspiration from a piece of criticism by Eva Hayward in which the Gender & Women's Studies scholar gleans transsexual meaning from an Antony & the Johnsons song released over a decade before frontwoman Anohni disclosed her transness to the public. "Do not some starfish regenerate themselves from injury?" asks Hayward. With the transsexual as with the starfish, "[t]he cut is possibility...part of the ongoing materialization by which a transsexual tentatively and mutably becomes."
