Pinkphobia

Acrylic on handmade paper. Currently on view at Up Front Art Space, 127 Portage Trail, Cuyahoga Falls, OH

This piece is an attempt to deconstruct and decontextualize the color pink.

Pink is so closely associated with femininity that we’ve completely separated it from what it actually is: a shade of red.

Pinkphobia invites us to ask ourselves; why are we, as a society, scared of the color pink?

Can we re-integrate this color as a part of the spectrum of our human experience?

Can we neutralize the brand of femininity, and that which we attribute to the feminine experience?
