Sausage Drag






"Sausage Drag"

I stuffed pantyhose with Polyfil and spray painted the tips with fluorescent pink. I then added tinsel to the pink tips and capped them with a spotted pantyhose.  I used hand dyed yarn to give the tubes "camel toes."  They are hung from a metal ring that has been wrapped in yarn.

I was thinking about Drag Queens after watching RuPaul's Drag Race. I began thinking about the body as a simple form that is gendered by decoration and ornamentation. The phallic forms are created by materials that are designated to women: yarn, pantyhose and tinsel.  I used the decoration and material to gender the original masculine form.

Happiness is Homemade






"Happiness is Homemade"
The blender has been wrapped in fuzzy yarn and pink string.  It sits on top of a foot stool that I have dusted in dry soap.  The cushion is made of stuffed paper towels.  The rug is made of loosely placed string.
