Furnishing Gender is a culmination of home furniture and objects that are deliberately altered to explore and expose pervasive aspects of toxic masculinity. The work examines issues of rape culture, queer culture, and all that is heteronormal that link our realities to the lie of masculinity and gender difference. I intend that you become uncomfortable. I hope that you do not shy away from this discomfort. This ongoing body of work presents a challenge to be vulnerable and genuine. A better future for all genders starts with conversations that confront the conventions of traditional gender roles and biases.
