DECONSTRUCT
This series explores a contemporary and humorous take on the construction and deconstruction of gender identities.
Concentrating on my original character, a high-heels-wearing astronaut that identifies with he/him pronouns, we partake in an exploration of gender, identity, and liberty.
The graphic forms in this art display pull inspiration and techniques from print media of past social movements.
As an affordable, easily mass-produced medium, printmaking has earned a historical reputation as protest art.
And as such, I wanted to connect to that tradition of rebellion and blasphemy.
