I'm researching historical imagery relating to desire and pleasure as it relates to identity. Identity is often most understood within the context of relationships. It is an understanding of ones self tied inherently to a type of relational-comparison. For example... one may not truly understand who they are until they are confronted by someone who seems oppositional.
Historically in art, women have been depicted in a fairly typical manner conveying a dialogue within the context of identity and relationships. These relationships of male/female and subject/other have always defined one-another and satisfied certain visual pleasures. I am interested in furthering this language to include fettishisms; playing with new forms of visual pleasure and its inherited language.
