  1. 1. Art Sex Music

    A candid memoir tracing a life at the intersections of performance art, sexuality and underground music — from a working-class upbringing through provocative early performance pieces and involvement in the sex industry to co-founding influential experimental bands — exploring how transgressive acts and commercial exploitation shaped artistic practice and personal identity. It interrogates the blurry line between art and pornography, the politics of the body, media scandal and creative survival, offering vivid, often shocking scenes alongside reflective insights on resilience, creativity and cultural change.
