Abstract

Over the years, I have amassed a huge dressing up box, accumulated from different parts of my life – AIDS patient to university professor, gender bender to porn star, go-go dancer to boxer, drag queen to leather queen, son to daddy! HIV+ since 1994, on medication and detectable, I approach my sixth decade reflecting on past lives and the known future.

This series is about dipping into the dressing up box to create new and potential different roles by performing for the camera and playing with gender, identity, sexuality, masculinity and everything in between. It is about thinking in a space of creative knowing. An exciting place where anything can happen and nothing is predetermined, where there is everything to look forward to.

The of knowing can be a kiss from me to you, a reference to non-binary, non-gendered specific pronouns, or it can refer to an undetermined space, literally and metaphorically.
