Man in Relation to Men, 2006 - 2008
Man in Relation to Men looks at the stereotypical reference of masculinity using an array of male action figures from diverse eras. Assessments are to be expected of each figure in relation to the entire group. Type, era, genre, and even function are just a few comparisons that can be made. The concept of man is derived from the symbolic concept of men and vice-versa. These photographs explore the complex and ever-changing role of masculinity and man through the commercial commoditization of man.
