My artwork is about change and identity. For some time, I've been pondering what it means to be a woman. Defining gender can be very difficult--offensive, political, personal, elusive. While I was struggling with this concept, I came across an idea from Margaret Miles. She offers this thought has a side note, and rather hesitantly, but I've latched onto it because I think it holds truth.
