The damaged book itself was the initial inspiration for Mixed Messages. Enveloping the
book Same Sex within a framework gave me an environment for my stream of
consciousness doll-scape. Inadvertently autobiographic, the floating icons and charms
suggest desires, connections, challenges and footnotes of THIS gay boy’s life. At fifty-one I
have seen huge changes in our community, most importantly, a social flow that spirals
and grows and has a life of its own. I localize my point of reference to San Francisco as
the center of my universe. It is where the experiences of my life have taught me about
relationships, politics, Love and where many of nature’s enigmas have revealed themselves
to me. There are cycles in life that with an open mind, continue to sequel in this “Tales
of the City.” Homosexuality and Love, two of my sacred truths, have, once again allowed
my relationships (and a special one in particular) to connect with a larger “spirit” of which
we are all a part (in spite of all the stumbling blocks and social taboos).
