‘With this commission for Portrait of Monash: the ties that bind, I wanted to present a range of different perspectives from people living in the city of Monash who identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In the video we see the subjects within their familiar environment; either their homes or public spaces in which they feel comfortable, where they talk directly to the camera/audience, conveying honest accounts of their experiences, attitudes and personal and cultural histories in relation to themes of community, love, sexuality and belief systems. I chose this direct form of address from the project participants in the hope that I could convey the strength, vulnerability, and resilience of this group of people from the Monash LGBTQIA+ community. ‘ David
