Completed as part of the 2013 RMIT BFA Graduate Exhibition, this body of work is about our hindered relationship with sexual pleasure and our ability to become something other than our ‘selves’. Through the raw depiction of fetish objects I aimed to evoke the viewers’ curiosity by engaging them in a discourse about perversion and how we relate taboo subcultures to something that is “subhuman” or “wild”, like that of an animal.
