Porcelain Canvas II pairs women’s bodies with fine china to spark conversation about gender roles and social issues, especially within the Southeast.
As the sequel to a self-portraiture series, this project confronts the male gaze and gives bodily agency back to women. Posture, choice of prop, and intentional concealing directs the viewer to consider topics such as women's social identity, objectification, reproductive rights, mental illness, and racist ideals.
