Not Man Enough (2018-2019) asks how individual identity construction is shaped through my relationship with masculinity, as a queer person. Through androcentric monuments, the series highlights the lack of representation for minorities and the overpopulation of shrines to masculinity in public spaces, particularly throughout Bundaberg and Brisbane. These masculine focused monuments highlight varying idealised masculinities still commonly present, in areas such as religion, alcohol and sport.
