By using graphic maps and charts, I’m working to expose the visual ways that gender theories surrounding the construction of the gendered subject are related and situational to the narrative of a lived-body experience. By mapping the geographies of clothing, the self, getting dressed, and being dressed, I’m negotiating the continuously shifting boundaries and space between the subject-in-process and the social expectations outlining gender and cultural identities.
