Flagging

This is a slight deviation from the scenic paintings, but I still classify it as a part of the White Man Dreaming series. Flagging is a very common practise in the gay community and is a way of signalling to others your desires and intentions. It involves colours, props, dress and accessories, and is very useful in country areas where being OUT may be frowned upon. This particular work is a safe sex message. The colours of the smaller pipes are the universal colours of the leather community, blue, black and white. The stop lights reflect sexual attitude. Red - STOP do not proceed until you have agreement, Amber - Always play safely and with caution, Green - Consensual sex

I am hoping to enter this work into the Midsumma Art exhibition in 2009.
