Through a collage of metal sculpture, fiber art, and printing traditions, this work engages with historically gendered forms of engineering and modes of mechanical reproduction. I present printed media, garment construction, and information technologies as linked contributors in the production of cultural identities, while employing found, manipulated, and printed imagery to generate them. In these ways, the work’s content and processes address the means by which an idealized womanhood has been produced and disseminated across art historical tradition and popular media, often deployed as a tool for bodily control.
