My life: This sculpture was something I started
around the time of “Canyon falls”. I wasn’t going
to complete it but a friend convinced me to. The imagery represents
male and female genitals in pink and blue and an abstract womb in
the center. In the upper right hand corner is block of wood cracked
in half with nails coming from it. On the upper side of this block
(not shown) is the words burned MY LIFE. This piece is meant to
symbolise the pain a person goes through when they are born gay
and just don’t know quite how to fit into gay or straight
society. This is a struggle that many gays and lesbians go through
when they feel they don’t fit into the average gay or lesbian
stereotype and being surrounded in the straight world. For many
it can be a painful and isolating experience. Thankfully I feel
I have found my place among artists from the straight and gay community
