Rainbow Thread Art

"Ultimately, what I want to give the viewers is an experience with light and color. The thread is so thin, that when it is used in such a large scale it kind of disappears, which is why these installations sometimes look so ethereal. It plays with perceptions and it can even mess with your sight, because your eyes don't know where to focus;........

------Artist, Gabriel Dawe talking about his Rainbow Thread installations, quoted in My Modern Met, 19 November 2010 

(Underlining and bold print by FuelMix)

Although he probably didn't realize it, Gabriel Dawe's art and the quotation above, are perfect metaphors for navigating the illusions, delusions, myth and mirage of Faggotry.

When we apply Dawe's own quotes to Faggotry, here's what we can extrapolate:

• The rainbow flag - just like a circuit party - is an experience with light and colour;
• The behavioural, emotional and ethical conventions of fags have been so thoroughly discredited (at least in this blog) that they are hanging by a thread;
• Certain behaviour in Fagland is so pervasive and on such a large scale that paradoxically, its acceptance as "normal" deceives fags into thinking that there isn't an issue or a problem with it. In effect, such behaviour being on such a large scale, it kind of disappears and becomes part of the accepted scenery;
• A lot of the installations in Fagland, including the fags, have no substance and appear to be ethereal. Are you dealing with a dream boat or a living nightmare?
• Fagland absolutely plays with perceptions - even without the chems;
• Fagland's distractions can be so overwhelming that it can even mess with your sight, because your eyes don't know where to focus; 

C'mon...prove FuelMix wrong.
