Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This painting is a part of my Queer Fruit series. For some of these paintings I used queer-identified volunteers as models. I would create a safe space for them to undress and play with the plethora of fruits I provided and I would capture their gestures, stances, and postures with my camera. Although I would use those photos to inform the anatomy of my drawings, I always chose to alter the faces so as to veer away from portraiture. The idea was to recognize identity as dynamic and fluid instead of fixed. The modeling sessions and subsequent interviews I held with my models became an intimate part of the project. This was a trans model, born female but who had had top surgery to remove his breasts and had been taking testosterone hormones for years. He chose to bring his strap on dildo to the session and put it to good use. My Queer Fruits search for the grey area between commonly accepted binaries such as masculine/feminine, dominant/submissive, gay/straight, pure/dirty, normal/aberrant. The texture is varied with a mix of drawing and painting mediums. It's a sturdy stretched canvas with 1.75" thick stretcher bars, including 2 D-rings and a hanging wire on the back. No frame necessary; it can easily hang directly on your wall.
