Green cheeks, purple flanks

The images in 'Green cheeks, purple flanks' were mostly taken during Jack Ball’s camping trips throughout Western Australia. This work is part of a larger project that explores queer experiences through abstraction and collage. Ball re-photographs their own printed images multiple times in order to embellish, pull apart and remake them. They work with crunchy pixels, overly saturated colour and lo-fi editing techniques. Ball’s engagement with collage methods in this series reflects how they think about their skin, body hair, and testosterone - as materials with histories that are flexible and in process.
