- Drawing on fantasies of absence and the legacy of leather culture, my series, Arrest the Image, explores masculinity beyond biology, toward unstable and self-determined alternatives. Arrest the Image focuses on the power structures in America, gay male culture and the legacy of leather. Through embodied participation, I acknowledge leather’s entanglements with authoritarian aesthetics and histories of power, while transforming its codes through dykeness and transness. In doing so, I want redefine masculinity as a site of autonomy, selfhood and collective reimagining. See all items with this value
