In this series, each artwork is an homage to artists who have depicted the female body, or engaged with it, in a way that resists oppressive norms. I copy elements of the work in a drawing on canvas, isolating the subversive power of the gesture, and compose anew. My deepest gratitude to the women who authored the original works.
