Untitled

“Untitled is a photograph that in the intervening period I renamed Multi-Handed Woman. The woman in the picture resembles a cyborg in some pornographic computer game. She has three sets of arms: female, male and childish. This is a reference to the androgyny of the human spirit and my challenge to gender roles. The background is a colour keying environment or blue screen. The character can therefore be keyed into any life situation. The woman-cyborg with her multiple arms can handle countless activities at any one time and can therefore better withstand social pressures and fulfil the high demands made upon her by her surroundings.” (DA)
