Guys on Grindr go on and on and on and on about needing a ‘Clear Face Pic’ but usually they have pictures of their torsos as display pictures and have used ‘there’ incorrectly somewhere in the ‘About Me’ section. It reminds me of listening to my mum and her friends talking about other super-gay, mega-flamboyant little boys who were in close proximity to me. Images of Purses falling out of mouthes and terms like ‘petal’ where thrown around. It made me feel kind of sick. It was all dripping with a particular type of condescension which kind of matches that of f*ckbois on Grindr in close proximity to me. This piece is about collective trauma... and then Covid happened and the symbology in the work took on a whole new meaning.
