According to curator Ken Pratt, “Gobel’s works — usually made as a form of beautifully crafted felt marquetry — create a camp sensual world that refers to iconography recognizable in most western gay cultures. Yet, there is something more than celebration going on here. In the construction of the images and the depiction of the characters that fill them, we are somehow invited to take stock.”
