- Object Description
- The print is one of seven prints produced by Massey in the mid-1980s during a troubled period in his work and life. It is a self-portrait. A montage of hands and penises furls from his open shirt collar as tattoo or body hair. It’s an image that evokes—if not strangulation—a subject caught in a repetitive auto-erotic mechanism that suggests a hopeless and pathos to the phallocentred subject.
