Just Desserts for One Photographer- Dustin Wayne Harris.

The icing on the cake however, was a truly unique piece of work unlike its fellows in every conceivable way: Glitterbutt. I am not making this up. Glitterbutt. A rhinestone-festooned reproduction of a transsexual’s gluteus maximus. (I’ve heard of assholes at art shows, but this one takes the cake.) Upon meeting Harris and visiting his studio, Talia insisted it join the showing. Appropriately enough, this shining piece is hung in the gallery’s rear. Yeah, you’re welcome.

Danni Daniels, porn star and friend of Harris, said, “I didn’t get the cakes, seeing them in Dustin’s fridge. Seeing them on the walls all together… I get it.” Seeing the parcel of pastry pictures sharing wall space with the immortalized backside of a transsexual was jarring, to say the least. Jordan Fox, however, said it best: “I like the juxtaposition between the childlike cakes and the overtly sexual tranny ass.” Out of the mouths of babes…

Dustin graduated from the School of Visual Arts with honors in 2007. His photos show fine technique and attention to detail; the lighting is even, and you get a fully formed visual of all manner of cakes.

The pictures themselves are exactly that. They’re high-res photos of cakes. Lots of cakes. On their own, the photos mean little; but with the understanding of what they represent, they make for an interesting portfolio that won’t soon be forgotten. Neither will the life-sized rhinestoned rectum… but perhaps that goes without saying.
