Frenchmen Florals

Frenchmen-Florals explores the fluidity and construction of masculinity, spearheaded by a collaborative investigation into the historic application and use of vintage photographs. This body of work reconfigures French turn-of the century postcards collected during a trip to Paris on the way back from opening an exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden in 2009. Using the technique of collage/montage and photo scanning to speak metaphorically about the social construction of identity, these prints invite the viewer to consider their own gender construction by psychologically projecting themselves onto the images.
