Artist Statement
My current work aims to confront sports as a cultural metaphor for sex. I am interested in the goal-seeking nature of both sports and sex. Perhaps through sports, we are simply mimicking the effort of procreation. Here, the private act becomes a public spectacle reinforced by cheering crowds, company endorsements and fame.
These paintings explore the still male-dominated nature of this industry. They reverse this domination by locating the sporting event in the very private space of women’s undergarments. At the same time these paintings suggest women’s bodies as the playthings of men, they also trivialize and, literally, minimize the sporting event they depict.
Here, these arenas undergo a privatization though context, heightened by the metaphor of grass as human hair. The paintings use and explore the dichotomies such as concealing/revealing, public/private and macro/micro as a way to reframe our cultural obsessions with both sports and sex.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
