Processing Masculinity
$100.00
The imagery of a young man is fashioned within a microprocessing chip that has silver wire circuitry emanating from it. The microchip and wiring are mounted upon a green marble paper that suggests
a green circuit board. Though made of paper, this piece mimics the aesthetic of microprocessing technology to suggest this integrated circuit is somehow 'processing' the nuances of masculinity.
Within the gay online dating community, there is this valorization of masculinity that is detrimental and damaging. Often profiles of users will say, "Masc only, no fem" as a way to emphasize the person is seeking only masculine presenting people and disregards any feminine men.
With this kind of culture in mind, I wanted to create a peice that embodied a more healthy type of masculinity. The image being 'processed' inside the microchip is of a kind and decent looking man, one who is thoughtful and non-judgemental. I want to understand the sensitivities and nuances of men and this piece is an encapsulation of that desire.
