Gender, Identity & Self

 

Some of my artworks explore personal hardships and triumphs as subjects unto themselves.  I also examine identity, including assumptions based on gender. I often approach the topic of gender in my art by questioning, deconstructing, reexamining and redefining male/female roles and expectations.  I am especially interested in gender stereotypes, roles and ideals.  I strive to blur boundaries between male/female by crossing back and forth, hybridizing and/or eschewing gender-based distinctions.  I also explore taboo topics related to gender, such as menstruation and female reproductive health.
