Invert / Pervert |
|
Date: 1989 |
Media: Photocopy & gold foil on board |
Size: each pannel 30 inches square |
Commentary:
The finished piece of the smaller sketch. I called this piece Invert/pervert because at the time it was produced there was much debate
in the media as to whether being gay was something you were born with, ie, you
were 'inverted' a term first used by a British sexologist around the turn
of the 20th century, or it was something you learned, that you became perverted
into homosexuality. The picture illustrates the point that neither gives
the whole picture. The splitting up of people into categories prevents
straight people from seeing us as whole and as normal as anyone else.
