The site of my current research is the Hellfire Club in Sydney. It started as a home for freaks, weirdos and the straight voyeurs who like to watch, and is now a recognised brand name. The characters in this body of work carry the physical wounds of a tribe, a people who adorn their bodies with piercing, tattoo’s and highly personal costumes. It is a subculture that celebrates the grotesque body. I have developed these themes in an emerging understanding of the role of personal power and individualism in culture, religion, art, philosophy and psychology. |
