The hypocracy of the church... piously touting their homophobia while surrounded by some of the most wonderful homoerotica.
This series of digital collage takes bits of work from gay Renaissance artists and replaces them into appropriate contemporary situations, my photography. The 'subtle' addition of traces of pornography here and there adds a delightful, playful, but honest, twist.

Many of the works out of the Renaissance were quite suggestive, as this work set out to examine. The shape of Jesus' piece is worth looking at, for example, in Montegna's Crotch, below. It's as though the fabric covering is semi see through...goodness me...

This is a poem written by Michelangelo to his Cavalier...
Why should I seek to ease intense desire
With still more tears and windy
words of grief,
When heaven, or late or soon,
sends no relief
To souls whom love hath robed around with fire?
Why need my aching heart to
death aspire,
When all must die? Nay, death
beyond belief
Unto these eyes would be both
sweet and brief,
Since in my sum of woes all
joys expire!
Therefore because I cannot shun
the blow
I rather seek, say who must
rule my breast,
Gliding between his gladness
and his woe?
If only chains and bands can
make me blest,
No marvel if alone and nude I
go
An armed Cavalier's captive and
slave confessed.
Michelangelo Buonarroti
