Reciprocal Relationships


Matthew Morrocco is an artist who has been photographing gay men in their homes and in his studio. He uses the connection between the photographer and his subject to study how identities are formed in the negotiations between family, religion, and sexual orientation. Morrocco is questioning how identity informs relationships, and, in turn, how relationships develop into community. Check out Matthew’s profile.
