Sallie Forrer Artist Statement If all the visual signifiers for feminine beauty were to lump themselves together in one big mass, they would make a great big beautiful monstrous mess. If all the little parts of everyday experience were to disassociate and scatter, they would become unrecognizable, foreign and alien. Without context the feminine can be masculine and the beautiful becomes grotesque. I’m interested in both the beauty queen and the freak show - particularly when they become indistinguishable.
