Submissions for International Postcard Exhibition

Fluidity, Chaz Howkins, 2016, pencil and fine liner

Identify, Chaz Howkins, 2016, photographic collage
I created these two 4x6" pieces to submit to the Surface Gallery Exhibition.  'Identify' is a smaller recreation of my collages as I thought they were quite successful and wanted to experiment with scale.  I created 'Fluidity' from a photo manipulation of myself as three characters of varying genders; I originally intended to write 'gender is a social construct' over the drawing, but felt this made the piece too literal.  I instead opted for the gender fluidity symbol as I felt this was more subtle.
