andrei barrett (he/him) sources visual and linguistic data from pop culture, memes, and gay pornography to parody american phallocentrism. interpreting subject matter through a queered gaze, patriarchal symbols within barrett’s practice are destabilized and recontextualized. through this appropriation of imagery and text, he unmasks the implicit homoeroticism and queenhood within institutional male heteronormativity.
