These pieces were so fun and liberating to make. I bought a bunch of queer interest magazines from EBAY to create these.
This piece is titled “Making Eyes At My Clone”. it is a relief sculpture of my head on the left, with the negative carved out of the layers of magazine on the right. The pages come from magazines like U MAN from the 70s through the early 2000s. There was no wast materials with this piece, all cut materials were used.
This piece is titled “Under the Sheets 1: Finn and Cody”. It comes from a 3D scan of a gay couple together underneath a sheet in their bed. This piece speaks to how queer couples often need to hide their affection, and indeed their true selves, from the outside world. I was also alluding to how I have felt most comfortable and open in the safety of my own bedroom.
The rest of the pieces were made from the scraps of “Under the Sheets 1: Finn and Cody”, This first one is “Add On Us”.
“No Man Can Truly Be Seen, Because I’ve Intentionally Obscured Them All”
And finally, “We All Know Lesbians Can Read, But Did You Know That Some Of Us Gays Can Also Read?”. The full gallery of these pieces can be found below.
