The Masculinity Project (1996-1999) focused on exploring the construction of gender. I originally set out to explore issues related to my father and his idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman. However, the process led me to explore my own gender identity through journaling, making large photographs and dialogues with men and women about their perceptions of masculinity and femininity. This experience impacted my ability to be open and to become aware of and to articulate my own understanding of the complexity of gender constructions as well as raised my understanding that discrimination is not limited to issues of race, gender, and class.
