Description
As a sort of follow up to my last post. I feel like as much I would like to make more work like this, I often don't. This is mostly because I don't find my self to be convincing, which at times can be honestly frustrating. The topic of gender identity and fluidity has always been a touchy subject for me. I make the work I make because given the fact that I was given a particularly feminine body it just seems to make sense but there are days where I wish I had more options. Seeing as though this is 'fact' has rolled into my daily life also makes things tricky, but at the end of the day I go with what I'm comfortable with.(this is makeup btw)

I find this portrait to be perfectly on the mark. Looks exactly like many vintage photos of the growing pains of the these United States. Would easily mistake the subject for a copper miner who got off shift, and went straight into a bare knuckled brawl with the Pinkertons over a labor matter. That is 100% the expression that says, "Yeah, but you ought to see the other guy"

You look like an early 20th centuary bare knuckle boxer after going a few rounds.
