Rather than offering the queer body as icon or emblem, his images open it as a porous site where intimacy, memory, and desire fold into one another. This refusal of fixity troubles the fantasy of a distinctly “Australian queer aesthetic,” revealing instead how queerness bends and unsettles the very frameworks—colonial, national, normative—that seek to contain it.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Guide Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53896860139795,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/5614\/1075\/files\/Screenshot2026-03-05at11.14.18am.png?v=1772669698","url":"https:\/\/bookstore.artguide.com.au\/products\/drew-pettifer-i-know-a-place","provider":"Art Guide Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
