I've used two art forms, embroidery and painting, together to create a contrast between physical characteristics of the media as well as to contrast the history and traditions of these art forms. Painting, which is a historically male dominated art form, and embroidery which is historically a feminine art form, have their own gender roles within art history. To combine the two forms is to question what is masculine and what is feminine in art. But I want to take the question one step further; I want to examine what is male and female in some areas of life.
