Penis Portrait-Quad, 2024

The portraits have been a fun minor distraction over the course of the project. The pleasure for me has been as a dialogue with a friend, a way of expressing connection non-verbally as the intimacy of the photos demands a certain trust - and the laborously constructed watercolours become an expression of care. The fleetingness of a photograph (around which exists a flurry of textual exchange) memorialised, an expression of trust and friendship and time and care in a moment when our world desperately needs these things.
