Theresa Bear's Queer as Nature reflects on nature’s existence outside of human concepts of gender binary. Flowers, which are traditionally coded as feminine, burst out from within a masculine blazer. The dainty, lace glove is filled with heavy dirt. These juxtapositions allow us to conceptualize nature as something fluid and active, beyond any societally-enforced concepts of gender identity and presentation.
With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
