Abstract
The purpose of this study is an ongoing
creation of artworks that reflect the ideas of non-traditional
identity and the sense of place or placelessness. The works
strive to also be readable by a larger viewing audience that
just those living non-traditional gender or sexual orientated
lives. The artworks are created using elements of
symbolism and icons that are reflective of these ideas about
inequality in our society and those of my own personal
belief system as a gay male. My opinions about place or
"home" and identity, become visual questions about why
these systems change for peoples with a non-traditional
lifestyle. To date, the research has produced approximately
9 paintings and sculptures expressing these ideas.
