I was drawn to this topic as it relates to the idea of a genderless society and the benefits that could result from the destruction of the barriers used to separate us by sex and gender – a freeing concept for me. I used digital tools as I have access to a variety of built-in brushes and could experiment with different materials very easily – my main coloring brush, for example, was a brush meant to replicate the texture of oil paint, which would have been difficult physically. The colors are purposefully chosen to align with the themes of the piece and the writing – the genderlessness of these abstract beings. Purple is a mix of blue, associated stereotypically with boys, along with red, which pink, a traditionally ‘feminine’ color, is a shade of. I wanted these figures to omit gendered characteristics, only the bare necessities to be able to decipher the piece.
