Clean up your act you dirty faggots!

Bleach and iodine on paper
Series 1 - 2005, 15 x 11 inches (38 x 28 cm) each
Series 2 - 2007, dimensions variable

Clean up your act you dirty faggots! is a series of gay pornographic images made with bleach and iodine on paper. Over time, the iodine will fade completely away, and the bleach will corrode through the paper. The images are taken from gay pornography from the 1970's, before the onset of HIV/AIDS. They are a ghostly memorial to sickness and loss, and an awkward collision of gay rights and the sterilization of sex.
