‘gay sharks’ (2021) A0 pen on fish and chip wrapping and wooden forks

Four seasons deep into Married At First Sight Australia, Seaspiracy and one pandemic later these 30+ queers are thirsty for alternatives. This is the beginning of a life long project to ask - can we think differently about our future? Beginning with the swell of questions, to wade through ‘adult’ life and the literal waters of climate change: this drawing come Cosmo Girl quiz come queer shark eco-diagram is a call to arms. To ourselves, to our elders and fellow queers. How can we grow up and not get boring/become a Tory? How can we look after each other and where we live? How can we be the queer vegan sharks we want to see in the world? And most importantly - if dolphins are just gay sharks, then what are the queerdos of the sea and how can we make sure the ecosystem is balanced enough for us all to thriiive!?!
