late entry?

(fun one for safari times, even if its via the net right?)

so the TV version was giving me a bit of grief, think this might say it better anyway...

flying heart

Arm measuring nipple measuring

limbs, digits
I don't know
where to look

invisible communities

A test to see if covering all the faces of on the stage set might work. Image selection still open but I'm interested in keeping it to published/distributed media (albums, magazines, posters, book covers etc) - media that makes, and echos communities.

I miss a community here. I want more visibility. Where are all the gays in my immediate community, on the art scene? We seem a little thin on the ground here. Where are we on the street? I know there is a gay scene here, but it seems so underground. I don’t think I’m looking in the right places. I can’t be.
So I've been curiously digging around online, following one link to another, finding a plethora of bands, albums, interviews, tv series, movies, blog - whatever might lean towards a familiar echo - and finding good company in them. My friend accurately described it recently as the potential of any distributed media to create an invisibly connected community.

Roar

Really looking forward to talking soon. In the meantime, here's image highlights of today's bonus shoot... we went a little left of field of shooting the blank stages...

Bedroom as whitely-lit stage

Oh and some uploads of the torches - available on black or white!



























...umm, er, sometimes science just doesn't work! Clearly science can't explain everything!

I am, talking in images

and then she said ...

Woo Aaaa Hooo

We did some shooting today with the hired camera. I think Clare fell in love with the lens. Anyway, these are some of the images we took:

Can we join your safari Rachel?

Pretty please?

Heeeey, I can see my house from here

Along with the safari look, we also did some piles of abandoned clothes:


This our mock-up for a hyperbola of clothing, in a lightbox format (click to enlarge):

And a yummy version of the lesbian rule (which we do by the way):

For some mysterious reason, we have been given an extra day with the camera tomorrow. This is a super lucky situation, as we only have about four hours of decent natural light in Rotterdam at the mo. So, Clare is going to do some more images including:

• An image of a print-out of a copy of the "nipple painting"
• The stage sets
• torches
  

Feel free to send any requests, and let us know how you feel, don't feel, want to feel about the above images....

the interweb killed the TV star

just a sketch think it looks a little too on the album art side of things BUT wooop! here it izz xx

gay shroud??

Jus a quick post, this has been my facebook profile image for a bit, thought it might suit you Rachel?

A +

I thought I would put this up as a component avaliable to a good home or two. The graphic is on a separate layer, so you should just be able to open it in photoshop and drag for an instant A+ on your homework.

UPDATE: OK, so apparently jpegs cannot have layers. You learn something everyday eh?

So, who is BK?
(and yes, she was teased by her high-school friends with affectionate fervency at Burger-time)

Let's talk about voice baby, about all the good things and the bad things that make me - I want to talk about 'Lebanese' voice

Body + Voice x 10 = default plurality ??

What if there appear to be 100 voices to a body at one time...

A flock

or assembly of voices

So when I look at

or

I treat the image/object as a kind of depot for voices.

I wonder what voices are in there, why they're there, have they traveled far, how long will they stay, who are they looking for in the audience, are they flirting and with whom, will they leave together or go their separate ways in the chlorinated slipstream of the night...


BK is potentially a ficto-accurate image/object voice depot playing hardball.

She's my way of working through this question, what does it mean to say I'm a lesbian, but to be in two minds about it.

To be in two (or more) minds connects to how I think about everyday experience in a lot of ways; that being in two minds is an access point to perceiving or experiencing the irrefutable distance between myself and all the others (or just an other), which can't be collapsed.

It makes me engage with ways this distance is manipulated, warped, disturbed, celebrated, starved, stuffed, morphed, draped, stowed, pampered, persuaded, nagged, shuffled...is it what we do with the distance that matters, and does glbt experience make one a little more able to tackle it, in difference to hetero gender/power play distance, which seems to world-dominate (ok, so I'm generalising, but it's necessary to my point)...

The voices are distances that bruise the image, the object, the subject, to use a Hito phrase. BK is also a way to understand how homophobia might be integrated into a conversation about female same-sex experience. Like a lot of figures in my work she works along a scale of meekness and aggression, which have always had a queer resonance for me. I guess this is one voice in the distance-depot I'd like represented amongst these works, thus trying to figure it out, within and beyond the aesthetics of the depot.


Any thoughts, feelings, mumblings in the dark welcome! I think I'm ready for a bigger font, lucky this is the LARGEST.

Kiss kiss kiss

A queer snog-mob gathers for the Popes recent visit to Barcelona. Plus check out the pope mobile. It looks like a virtine (or lightbox?) on wheels! I want one.

Lesbian couples kiss at Federation Square, Melbourne as Home and Away airs its first lesbian kiss (December 2009). You can see the kiss here ...WARNING... it is total disapointment in terms of kiss quality. These les' did a much better job, and on mass too.
