John Swofford’s schizophrenia makes him, according to him, neurodivergent, and he identifies as queer—where queer would mean that his sexuality doesn’t fit any category.  This identity influences him as an artist.

He was in a L’Exposition show at Times Square (2025) and a L’Exposition exhibit in Montmartre, Paris (2025).
