Response to Tomboys

from michael (mnm207@stern.nyu.edu)
peter, i wish you had some statement to go along with the pictures not necessarily a long winded artist's statement,but a brief group caption of sorts would be nice: something beyond just the title given on the page.

the images are nice though.

one in particular, rebecca, sort of has this tomboyish pose and manner, but her belly shirt sort of subjugates that masculinity to a sense of femininity. the line between male / female attributes becomes interesting in this photograph.

they become, in a way, akin to cross-dressers. the idea of the tranvestite as a border ground where ideas of what is male and what is female can be defined. a space of question.

if you continue the series, i would love to see more images.
