“At the heart of Hanlan’s is freedom — freedom to be naked, freedom to be openly queer, freedom to be oneself.”
Hanlan’s Point itself was my No. 1 inspiration. When beach season started back in early June, I didn’t feel like reading, so I bought a small spiral-bound pad of watercolour paper and a set of watercolour pencils and began drawing the little slices of queer male life and avian wildlife that I saw all around me.
At the heart of Hanlan’s is freedom — freedom to be naked, freedom to be openly queer, freedom to be oneself, free from judgement and clothes. Hanlan’s is almost Toronto’s version of Stonewall in some way. It’s a very important place and it’s a safe space for us.With this exhibit coming on the heels of the controversy surrounding plans for Hanlan’s Point, what are your thoughts?
I’m happy that my show can galvanize a bit of love and support around Hanlan’s when we need it the most, and to remind people what we’re fighting for. It’s the queers’ safe place but it’s also a little patch of wilderness. I hope people come away with that appreciation and maybe they can see Hanlan’s through a fresh perspective.
