Sometimes, people think that being a part of the LBGTQ is a shameful thing but Stewart is not afraid. This is her identity, being somebody isn’t you are even shameful, but facing your true self.

    Christian Thompson’s series Australian Graffiti involves staged images of the artist wearing Australian flora as a headdress. Thompson has arranged the flowers and leaves into intricate headbands that partially or fully cover his eyes from the viewer. ‘I carry the flowers with me like the most quintessential Australian symbol, a return to a more pagan and traditional symbiosis between man and the natural world. Perhaps the flowers are an extension of this visceral response to my surroundings.

I purchased my tickets to the Oakland museum, the first exhibit I saw was a gigantic sculpture created by Viola Frey with such beautiful detailed colors of a nude large female in a seated position with her right elbow on her right knee. The first thing I felt was hope that when I entered the Art Gallery at the Oakland museum that there would be plenty of other female artist’s work being portrayed; struck with utmost disappointment; my eyes gazed from piece to piece noticing male’s names repeatedly after the next.

    The first thing one might notice about these characters is that they are Caucasian, clothed, and natural. This is characteristic of the later Augustin Christian tradition that Erik Borgman spoke of in the beginning of the interview. No one is sexualized in this painting, all “private” areas on the body are covered, and there is no makeup or other sexual forces taking place in this painting. It is pure. This could simply be a reflection of the times that West was painting in, or, perhaps it is simply because Adam and Eve were described as having clothes on when they left Paradise.

Therefore, to the freedom of action brought by postmodernism it adds up, in the last decade of the XXth century, the need of taking part to the production of interpretative criterias of an actively lived reality, made possible by the particular structure of the photographic mean, both materially and conceptually.
