Drag Venn Fed (2017)

Glittered wooden hoops, plastic coated fabric, false nipple, sound. Drag Venn Fed continues Clements’ experimentations that display or voice disparate information as if connected – in this case how we are fed information regarding gender, sexuality and relationships from an early age; specifically concentrating on a mixture of truths, falsities and the ways in which we make connections based on this information to form personal Venn diagrams of understanding. A hidden speaker whispers worn phrases, familiar descriptions and disconcerting messages. The sound can only be experienced by placing an ear close to the center of the piece – through the false transvestites nipple.
