Real Life Fantasies - group exhibition

West Space, Naarm/so called Melbourne

 

 Four little bowls on the window sill which are each a different shade of pink. I filled them slowly with water using my mouth. I spill some water on the sill.

 

A video of a closeup of my ear with a little ball of flesh pink plasticine nestled safely within it. I wiggle my ear a little bit.

 With Wet I ended up spreading myself out pretty thinly and thereby claiming even more of the gallery as mine.

I chose the windows along the  right side of the gallery and filled every crack with pink plasticine.

My sexual organ slid along the window ledge, leaving bits of me behind. 

Discrimination is in everything so why not fuck it back.

Then, I didn't have support with me for most of the time, I didn't have the funding. The wheelchair access for the building that the gallery was in was often closed and I had no way of calling anyone to come and let me in.

Then the gallery had no accessible toilet.

There was a drain in the toilets I could empty my catheter into, which made it possible for me to stay in the gallery long enough for me to be in the exhibition.

But then I couldn't get out of the toilets by myself. I could get in ok, by pushing doors open with my wheelchair, but the doors didn't open the other way to get out. I have one working arm and had to drive my wheelchair. I would ask people to let me out again, but sometimes they forgot.

I had 4 little bowls on the window sill which I filled with water using my month.

And there was a video of my ear with a little ball of plasticine nestled safe within it.

A photo along the windows of the gallery space. You can just see some of the pink plasticine bowls. The gallery lights are off and I can be seen in the shadows.
