In 2008 I exhibited a piece of work for the first time both in Sydney and in Paris. The Sydney exhibition was part of International Day Against Homophobia which is a global campaign. And the exhibition in Paris was to raise money for SIDACTION, a HIV/AIDS organisation. The piece I submitted is called Age of Anti-Discrimination and I have titled the medium as photographic poetry, which combines images, taken of me by Laura Stevens, with the poem. The term 'mixed media', for me, does not reflect accurately my art, that of poetry, and for this reason I prefer to use the term photographic poetry.
Often people associate art with drawings and images but poetry offers the same effect, that of aesthetics. It simply moves the senses in different ways. Click on image to read poem.
