The Homosexual Gaze and 26 Questions for Emerging Photo Art Star David Benjamin Sherry - “Q: In the introduction to the monograph, photographer Collier Schorr talked about your work in terms of the “homosexual gaze.” Does queerness play a big part in your work? If so, how? A: Queerness, being queer, the existence of queer is a big part of my identity, so of course it finds its way into my work. The fact that it exists is probably the reason that I am able to be an artist. I can’t really detail specifically how it plays a part in my work, kind of the same I can’t really tell you why I breathe — but I can say that so much of my inspiration comes from queer culture.”
