The work brings into juxtaposition lace’s structural fineness and beauty with the harshness of slur words that describe the desired "harshness" of hyper-masculinity (“macho”, “hunk”, “stud”, “cocksman”, “jock”, “manly”, “beefcake” and “stallion”). Collectively, the pieces of lace explore the limits between the notions of “feminine” and “masculine” as a long established, and still dominant binary. Furthermore, by using pieces of lace that belong to his personal collection of inherited cutwork lace, Dimoulias highlights lace as a measure of "exchange value": lace is still used in Dimoulias's home country Greece and in other places around the world as part of the traditional “marriage inheritance gift”. Thus, the work aims to deconstruct a traditional heteronormative culture that creates and uses objects in a very specific way – a way that is complex, controlling and contradictory at the same time. Last but not least, the cultural origin of the work is foregrounded by the material used in order to write the words – olive paste produced by the olive trees that Dimoulias is growing in his land in Corinth, Greece.

United Kingdom
Terry Dimoulias was born in 1983 in Greece. For over a decade, he worked as a freelance photographer, with his work spanning different genres and publication formats. In 2015, he decided to move to the United Kingdom in order to expand his artistic practice by pursuing an MA in Photography at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. In his current work, he employs agricultural products from his own land back in Greece, as well as family-inherited lace and linen fabrics, in order to reflect on gender, immigration and the displacement of trauma in contemporary identities. In May 2019, he was awarded The Other Art Fair Postgraduate Art Prize for his sculptural series “Semén figures”. His forthcoming exhibitions include presentations at Long Gallery of Newcastle University, and at Central Saint Martins.
