Domina is a new series of photographic and digital works by Logan City artist Mark Kleine. The exhibition narrates the fictional relationship between a parent and their gender fluid child. The story is illustrated through the artist’s performance of both characters.

In 2013, Kleine completed a BFA in Visual Arts at the Queensland University of Technology and has since shown in exhibitions locally and abroad.
