The book Woman, An Intimate Geography by the Pulitzer Prize winning author Natalie Angier inspired much of the work I made for my Girlfights and Strong Girls series. There is a chapter in the book called In Defense of Female Aggression where Angier describes the cultural rerouting of girls aggression that occurs once girls start to talk. There is no duking it out in a straight forward battle. Girls retreat to snubs, gossip, eye rolls, etc… and it all becomes a bit more insidious. A meta gesture of being pissed.

China painting factories 07
- In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
