THE TOMBOY SUITE, 1996

Untitled (baseball mitt)

Color coupler prints, 16" x 20"
Plus snapshots of tomboys (family, friends, and found), varying sizes

In 1996 I started making The Tomboy Suite, a museum for tomboys—a place, in which the lost histories of hidden desires are made visible and legitimate. A series of framed, colored studio shots of small objects associated with boy’s play, isolated in a small, narrowing stage made of lead, is paired with a grid of snapshots of tomboys, each printed on sheet lead.
