Welcome to the Wasteland': A queer sex memoir' that throws out all the rules in written word and art | amNewYork
"The project began when LaForge found Haaf's book Harsh Cravings in the Strand and bought it because he liked the cover. Haaf explains, 'You can call it a sex memoir, but it's really just kind of observing, not only my past, but what was going on during that time.'"
"Once we hit over 50 pages, that's when I was like, okay, this deserves to be its own thing outside of anything else. What it became is a collage of feelings, desires, self-examination, hopes, sex, angst, connections, homoerotica, regrets, ecstasy and anger and much more."
Scooter LaForge and Jason Haaf collaborated on the book Wasteland, which evolved from Haaf's handwritten poetry and diary entries. LaForge created paintings over Haaf's writings, leading to a unique artistic expression. Initially not intended as a book, the project grew into a collection of over 50 pages, capturing themes of the queer experience, self-examination, and emotional complexity. The collaboration highlights the synergy between their artistic styles and personal narratives, resulting in a rich exploration of feelings and connections.
