As a self-identified freak or ‘other’, ‘Do we forgive those who trespass against us’ sets out to question and challenge the normative society in which we have been engulfed by. The nature of ‘self’ is communicated through performativity and difference, which enables those wishing to retain power of conservative structuralist ideologies, to categorise us in the same way that they mis-contextualise scripture to re-enforce their self-serving needs. We become ‘representations of wrong in the eyes of (their) god’, condemned to their mythological hell, because their narrative requires us to be ‘evil’ in their binary make believe, of which they see themselves as ‘good’. Giving space for gender performance and representation to our community of ‘other’ allowed for a communal deconstruction and reinterpretation of the symbolism, myth and narrative of the church’s ideologies. By post structuralist deconstruction, and by contrasting the religious and mythological representations of judeo/christian constructs and its foundational imagery, I present within this homage, the alternative reality and strength of difference that the ideologies of the church continue to demonise to this day. In the creation of this homage, I see the potential for a wider audience of the invisible ‘other’, and normative personal alike, to appreciate that a conservative structuralist reality isn’t the only ‘truth’, but simply a singular dated and restrictive viewpoint in an ongoing and ever-changing reality of a post-structuralist society where truth is relative, and personal.

The unseen
The Martyr Paradoxx
In the words of @alison.paradoxx (Thankyou is not enough)
"
The ideas of suffering, and martyrdom is often affiliated with the depiction of the Jesus embodiment, yet the assumptions of gender, colour of skin, culture, and age are qualities that seem fixed in trope, and visually-accessible folklore. This Jesus, however, is androgynous. Confrontional, frail … yet simultaneously powerful in its imagery. This Jesus is a social outcast, an apt depiction of suffering, a subversive entity. But most importantly, to me on a personal level, this Jesus image was created against all the odds. This shoot was incredibly important, and especially fragile to me on many levels, as it was taken against all the odds. I also was uncertain as to how the image would be digested by a viewing audience. Having been hospitalised for almost three months, weighing 24kgs, and suffering from hypothermia, Chronic kidney disease, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, chronic pain from scoliosis, and severe anorexia, we were vastly limited in the scope of what we could do during a shoot. The results you see were shot as an “escaped patient geurilla shoot”… from a disabled toilet… on the third floor of a busy public hospital. This shoot is truly an example of the passion in art, and illustrates to the viewer that even when faced with tremendous obstacles, powerful works can often be created best. Created to confront, to discomfort the viewer, to disrupt the narrative, and be subversive. This is not a celebration of what life should be – this is a raw, and candid depiction of pain, and life being stripped away. As a chronically disabled person, I am othered by society. The suffering, and persecution of Jesus is symbolic to this experience. "

This panel was where this homage all started, inspired by Pieta by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. As with the rest of this homage, this image represents those of us who exist outside of the normative conservative world view and critiques the nature of such, as well as the multiple traumas the judeo/christian myth creates for others and typicals alike.
Thanks to all of you who helped bring this image to life (the final homage is coming soon) … Rebecca Castaldini @eva.somnolence Samael Allan Makay @signsliaison Nicola Nikki Sullivan @nikkisullivan26 Dakota Rae @dakotormon Layla McKay @laylaxmua Christopher Malthouse Ben Davenport @talliesin_grixti Ingrid Devi Letum @tired.gov.au Sonia Bondarcev @soniabondarcevv Jaqana Geraghty @jaqanabanana , and a raven courtesy of Katie Keast @katie.keast

As I did with my revelation 6 series a few years ago, I thought this series wouldnt be complete without death … so a call was made once again to Milly Ashlea @aceventura_vetdetective and Monty to reprise his role as the pale horse 😉
(as with the previous goat edit, this was madness .. have uploaded the before into comments for those who like to see where this began. One of these days ill shoot an animal in a black smooth room, it would make life much easier lol)
Undertaken as part of Semester one, Photo one, Master of Photography at RMIT Photography @rmitphoto with Pia Johnson @piajohnsonphotography as supervisor and Torika Bolatagici @torika_b as lecturer.
This homage will be printed for assessment by David Hobbs at Master of Prints @master.of.prints on stock from Daniela Barth of Spicers Paper AU

Panel two/three – The seen – Work in progress element
This shot is of Charlotte Kelly @my_equanimity as lucifer morningstar … the fallen, the supposed original sin proceeding Adam … but much like lilith, my interpretation is that of free thought and a refusal to follow blindly 😉

This shot of Courtney Bowey @anathema.black and Brad Boruch @brad_boruch represents, Adam, Even, Cain and Abel and the jealousy and volence that came from the first born Cain, nothing like a bit of toxic masculinity early on huh

Panel three – The seen – Work in progress element
For those who have been playing along at home, moonlight was as close to a black goat as I could find … and as goats and suburban photo studios don't really go together, to photoshop I went … needless to say, editing out grass behind the fur of moonlight was a rather tedious process … one i get to repeat again with a lamb and a pale horse …

Thanks to Kym and the team at Freedom Hill Sanctuary @freedomhillsanctuary for allowing us to feature moonlight in this series.

DO WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US?
Panel one – The Seers (Angelique Joy and myself)
‘Do we forgive those who trespass against us?’ is a
poststructuralist photographic homage of ‘other’ created
by photographing myself, my partner and a collective of our
community presented as eight panels, printed as large scale, fine-art matte prints.
As a self-identified freak or ‘other’, given my neurodiverse
otherness of thought and variable gender performance, I have set out to question and challenge the normative structuralist society in which I was engulfed by from an early age. As Judith Butler stated in an interview with Cristan Williams “We form ourselves within the vocabularies that we did not choose, and sometimes we have to reject those vocabularies, or actively develop new ones.” (Butler, 2014), a path I chose to walk as I saw no viable alternative in following the herd.

Title: Presented without comment
This is from a shoot with Bella Dejac when Angelique and I were last over in Melb. The shoot functioned as a collaboration of performer and photographer as well as a lighting test old school hotel room style in prep for my #RMIT work this semester.
Some of the other shots will likely make their way to #thehardline

Printing tests and the hunt for the white unicorn …
So another day spent with David Hobbs of Master of Prints profiling and testing stocks supplied by Daniela Barth has resulted in more experiments going full circle.
As per the last.post we had been profiling and testing high white stocks in an effort to find an alternative to the warmth of photo rags I have always printed on … And.this far, as much as the new options handled the highlight range pretty well, the blacks didn't have the inky depth I've grown to love in the blacks … And given this semester's work is so heavily reliant on the blacks … It's back to the beginning for me .. for now 😉
In saying that, the process learning has been invaluable and lead to another set of print experiments that add an addition level of wtf to the black and whites … Which now need to be tested on smooth versus textured stocks 😉
Some people think that the print part of the process is just a printing exercise or worse get a button pushing one .. but for me, who has gone through the graphic design journey of press checks and fine level tweaks on a working press in collaboration with the printer doing the printing, being able to make minute adjustments with David to get something unique out at the pointy end is priceless
Oh and he was happy for me to make up my own test.file because the photodisc test print makes my eyes bleed lol
Thanks again to David and Daniela for being on this bizarre RMIT experimental journey …
Until next time the hunt continues …

As a fine-art photographer, and as someone who has been a graphic designer for longer, one of the most important things that I have learnt is is that the collaborative working relationship with the printer is paramount. I am trusting the printer to work on the final print output of any project and knowing that they care ad understand what I am after matters. Printing is a cost, both in time and resources, and there is nothing more frustrating as a creative than working with production houses/businesses that put processes before people. Ive ran into it a few times, and the moment I do, I go elsewhere with my work, or I stop printing until I can.
In the case of fine-art printing, it is even more important to work with the 'individual' cares about the relationship between art and output for without it, the fine tuning and experimenting with the minute details just isn't possible.
In Angelique's and my case we are lucky to know and collaborate with a Master Printer, David Hobbs. He runs his own studio called Master of Prints in Adelaide, and as much as I have known and worked with David while he was working at other print production businesses around Adelaide since I crossed paths with him back in the 90s, I am glad he is out being himself in his own space now. Service and care is important to an artist, and that it is part of his business model makes ALL the difference.
As part of my #RMIT journey, its really fucking helpful to have someone local to try my crazy ideas with matte stocks, and the ends of the dynamic range with before sending them over the border. Sure I could send my files to Les or Andrey Walking and get them to print them based on what I send, but where's the experimental in-person fun of that 😉
Id also like to send a shoutout to Daniela Barth of Spicers Paper for the ongoing help with me trying to find my unicorn matte stock … I think I am almost there with the stock David profiled for me today

For those of you who have been following for a while, from before the covidshitshow times, you will remember this project I have started, many a moon ago …
I'm now at the point of the second phase of the shoot, where I need to focus the narrative with subjects that include the following:
– couple and groups (romantic, platonic or aesthetic)
– non-binary, trans and gender diverse peoples
– queer (in all its meanings)
– freaks (subcultures that push against the normative society in which we live)
– adult industry types (who are comfortable exploring the harder end of the project)
if you are interested, have a look over at https://b.leideritz.com/challenged/thehardline/ for what has been taken so far (i have more still to edit) and drop me a line
at this point i have shot a fair bit of the softer end of the project (art nudes, fashion nudes etc) however if you don't fit into the above peoples let me know you are out there anyhow, as there are other projects on the horizon.
