I Am Superman
I Am A Princess
The two artworks I Am Superman and I Am A Princess hang as a diptych. The pieces continue experimentation with staged photography by lacing images of the artist modeling Clark Kent and Cinderella masks in a mirror. These idealized and popularized male and female forms have a relationship with the magazine strips that also exist within. The strips show different human poses from advertisements. Together, the elements describe a continuum of gender roles, defying any conventional overlay that might exist for the viewer.
