Man Stuff
Responding to the traditional roles within the Quilt media I wanted to create a series based on being a male and talk to the gender bias within the culture.
[Man Stuff #1] Hammer
72" x 84" [Man Stuff #1] Hammer This was the first pieces in the Man stuff series. I wanted to call to mind "the Floor Scrapers" Gustave Caillebotte, with the perspective and the diagonal visual movement towards the lower right. This series is a testament to my place in the art world as a male making art with a process that has been dominated by women primarily as utility. I wanted to show a "Man" item in a way that illustrates the use of fabric and light and stitching as notations of an art piece.
