STUDIES IN ANDROGYNY

1988 - 1990

My Studies in Androgyny works were a large body of paintings, drawings, intaglio prints and monotypes done in 1988-1990 while a Research Fellow at the University at Buffalo.

These figurative works were informed by an analysis of male/female pose and the interplay of gaze by viewer, model, and artist. While artists have often  visited this dynamic, my perspective was informed by dialogs of the moment. The work, using a traditional genre of painting, engaged and challenged the viewer to step outside typical gender paradigms as expressed through representation of the human figure.
