Project Description
In my recent body of work, I examine the ways photography contributes to the construction of identity and gender. Women are encouraged to create a socially acceptable feminine appearance. I want to explore how this construction of sexual identity influences gender roles and sexual stereotypes. The women I photograph are dressed in excessive costumes to emphasize the artifice of femininity. I am interested in how transforming a woman into an exaggerated cliche of femininity results in her gender becoming ambiguous.
