'Fear of the Feminine’ is a photographic series exploring and reflecting on my relationship with my queerness and femininity in childhood. Somewhat diaristic in nature, however largely glorified and symbolic, the work expresses experiences of growing up queer. Inspired by a time where I unknowingly questioned the metaphysics of gender and intricacies of societal expectations.
Looking back on my own experiences of not fitting the standard expectations of a young boy, I created work highlighting and reflecting upon the substantial grief and confusion as a result of external pressures to conform to aspects of the heteronormative lifestyle. The work is too, a reaction to current debates regarding LGBTQ+ inclusive teaching that I feel I would have benefitted from as a child. Considering my childhood education was limited to heteronormative representations. Whilst I was ushered from queer behaviours, when expressing myself, I was overcome with feelings of guilt and shame without fully understanding why.
