Details
Eva Polzer presents, just girlie things, sculptures in conversation with girlhood trauma and gendered stereotypes using domestic pet tropes: submissive dogs vs. mysterious cats.
In ✨just girlie things✨, Eva Polzer explores the complicated patriarchal “nurturing” of femininity and how it encourages girls and women to simultaneously hate and sexualize their bodies. Polzer creates sculptures inspired by the Borzoi dog and the Sphynx cat to discuss the normalization of blind devotion, unwanted attention, and the desire to retain some kind of power through avoidance.
Eva Polzer will be showcased in the CapSOUL gallery from May 3 - June 10, 2023.
