Interview with gay express
"My work is biographical, exploring the difficulty I experienced in coming to terms with being gay as a young man in Brazil where Catholicism remains a powerful force. Inferno represents my journey through long-lasting anxiety which was triggered primarily by a heteronormative religious indoctrination.  Inferno is being exhibited at the Hopetoun Alpha (previously the Beresford St Congregational Church). Was this venue choice specifically chosen to annoy the likes of the Catholic Church?My intent is to disrupt long-established ideas and to reclaim our share of spiritual ownership hijacked by distorted values of the church. 
Do you care if religious groups are offended by that?The message behind my work is one of inclusion. I encourage those who find it offensive to investigate it and raise questions.
What is Inferno saying about fetish, particularly fetish within the gay community?If it makes you happy, go for it. That’s what the first person I came out to (my therapist) said to me. I hope it reinforces that sexual choices should be cherished and free of judgement.
