Archived > The Space We Are Not

The Space We Are Not centers around the space that exists between our innate sense of being and the multiple, and shifting, culturally-constructed identities society projects on the self. This space is the contested ground where identity politics play out.

The human body and Barbie, the iconic toy prevalent in the acculturation of girls (and for that matter boys) for the last 60 years, are the two primary vehicles of cultural production used in this work, exploring themes such as stereotype femininity, the commodification of the body, fragmentation, and hybridization.
