ABSTRACT

This was a simple story of place, love, and family that marks the way place seeps into a body, demands of it differently than the town and geography before. The intersections of identity, sexuality, and geography influence how I make place with sex, love, and home. Within the place of Topanga Canyon, California, we, John and I, create a newfound partnership built on love and trust. And this love demands of it differently than the relationship before.
