Gender Relationships


ED. From "A Woman and a Bull" series, 2010 Acrylic on canvas 24x36"


Gender relationships can be complicated. Take this for instance, a woman being born from the bull’s carcass. The bull, no doubt, represents a man. Or should we look at it from a different angle? Say, every bull has a chick inside. To me it certainly looks like a woman’s sexy torso “dressed” in the armor of the bull’s ribs. The bull, no doubt, represents a man. Is she killing the dude? Or could it be that when she is wormed up and ready to be alive, the guy is already done? Or is she compelled to pry-open the cage, which by circumstance happened to be her husband’s ribs?

And what the heck? The shit is headless anyway!
