The #MeToo Boutique

These drawings explore the parallels between recent apologies made by men accused of sexual harassment and the fault-finding marketing claims routinely displayed on consumer products for women. By highlighting these mea culpas from formerly powerful males, I consider how rarely expressed such public admissions are from men regarding their flaws, both physical and emotional.

Objects of Desire

In this series, I explore the contradiction of women’s simultaneous embrace and skepticism of women’s beauty products; questions of product efficacy are often eclipsed by the irresistible promise of faith, belief and transformation. The products depicted are common products that women keep in their medicine cabinets today but for many the product name is text extracted from the headlines of 1950’s-era beauty advertisements.
