and WorldPride, the exhibition utilises the duo’s skills in costume design, performance and photography to pay tribute to artists such as Leigh Bowery, Robert Mapplethorpe and Keith Haring. Bloodlines is open now and runs until 5 March at Carriageworks.
At the time I didn’t realise I would end up on this magical and ridiculous artistic journey making art and costumes, inspired in part by Leigh Bowery. I guess you have to be careful who you idolise!: I have a framed Polaroid of my father next to my bed. It is a sun-kissed, faded piece of history – him as a young, happy, handsome man swimming off the rocks in Greece. I had a really complicated relationship with my dad and for many years we didn’t speak; he struggled with me being gay.
