2023, The Art of Gender (outdoor sign installation) This work depicts a group of masculine-presenting individuals surrounding themselves only with those that seem to share their interests and dress in a similar way. The scene references gendered exclusion that often occurred during this period in which many people would only welcome those that looked and acted as they did. –Logan Michael, WU student
