My Little Boy Pussy: Like a Stump
Exhibited at Cascade AIDs Project's Art Auction April 28 2012
Statement:
Even when no one is looking, it feels like everyone is. As a gay male the sexual part me is what people notice and they may even image/wonder “How does that work exactly?” In art crowds or I suppose most crowds someone who is gay is either neutered or hyper-sexualized, funny thing though not this crowd as much. Due to political tensions my sexual practice ends up being a political one, yes straight folks’ sexuality is also political but the conversation hasn’t been framed that way. It is impossible for me to not carry the audience to the bedroom. Sometimes it takes a bit more focus for me to explore my sexual self so I find I have to remain in the character, “Gabe as sexual being.” It is sometimes difficult to practice safe sex because that often means becoming aware of a world beyond the moment. Yes, I know protection can become a part of the play, but if it’s a kinkier desire I don’t always want to leave my character, my other protection.
My Little Boy Pussy: Like a Stump refers to the stunted grown/deadness that I feel sometimes when I compartmentalize my sexual self, but the “:” or (colon) being referred to as a stump suggests use, experience, and exploring sexual boundaries.
