Tit for Twat
Tit for Twat addresses the biblical presumption of heterosexuality
and its relationship to other theories of origin. Tit for Twat (1993
ongoing) takes quite literally the taunt heard in the early 90s on what
was then called trash TV that if God had wanted homosexuality it would
have been Adam and Steve (or, as I have added, Madam and Eve) and
explores the implications of such changes to the creation myth. The
so-called original garden is the site of much confusion about human
nature and the nature of human sexuality. Tit for Twat disucsses notions
of innovation and origin in history, creationism, science and material
culture. Rather than providing justification for historical
inequalities, Tit for Twat ultimately deconstructs and questions the
privileging of universalized systems of knowledge over de-centered
changing narratives of difference. A three-part photomontage
photo-novella narrative designed for exhibition and publication, its
chapters (Madam and Eve in the Garden; Can We Talk?; and Its Not about
Shame! Accessorize!) are made as an ongoing open structure that will not
find an absolute end but will continue to have new parts added to the
narrative as it develops.
