These images are from a series titled GLARE, where the multiplicities within words become the basis for constructing a visual narrative from a queer perspective.
While the word 'glare' denotes the reflection of bright light, it is also used to mean an intense stare; similarly, 'inversion' once held a derogatory equivalent to 'homosexual'-- an antiquated play on the meaning: 'to reverse'. As intangible, light-based concepts, Gould analyzes how inversion and glare can be used to weave together a constructed reality and a lived experience. Caught between two worlds– dreaming and lucidity— GLARE was written to untangle why death, sex, grief, and love seem to all twist together at night.
