“Shopping for Clothes”
2000   Graphite, acrylic medium and self-help book on canvas
("Women and self-esteem"/The Annette Funicello Coloring book)
68 x 46”

This was the second coloring book piece I did.   A companion to "Pitching a hand grenade," it's on the same theme of gender stereotyped being reinforced from a young age and that not necessarily being the healthiest thing.

I love the source drawing, the slightly jowly older woman advising her daughter (?) on what to wear or how to wear it and the daughter appreciating her svelte reflection.
