Artist Statement:
James Mullane’s recent Immoral Garden series examines the taboo subject of sex, the body and love between gay men. Flowers are used for censorship but also express innuendo as well as the beauty of love. Immoral Garden explores boundaries between art and pornography as well as art and craft. Mullane challenges viewers to see both as equal, eliminating the idea of otherness.
