Tea Time

I often use my photography as a starting place rather than an end. I merge the images into drawings, paintings and serigraph prints through a variety of techniques.

This serigraph print on paper measures approximately 16″x20″ and is part of my ongoing, Macho Sissy series.

The work  juxtaposes masculine and feminine imagery together representing the blurring of gender lines. The image of the muscular male form printed in white is balanced by the bright pink tea cups surrounding him, as if it is a dream.

I believe that we all have both masculine and feminine traits that should be celebrated, not suppressed by socially constructed gender roles.
