Portfolio > Feminine Side

The Feminine Side Series is a sequence of maternal generational portraits. Each portrait is matched with a self-help personality quiz such as those found in popular magazines. Tests used in The Feminine Side: Beulah, Cecile, Marie include: How Much Excitement Do You Need in Your Life, How Comfortable Are You With Success, and How High is Your Self Esteem. The portraits consist of 3 layers of graphite on vellum. The top layer contains the portrait, the bottom layer contains the words, and the middle layer is made of squiggles that provide a buffer between the two.
