The Pink Elephant In The Room

This feminist series addresses sexism and racism, mixing languages of geometric abstraction, infographics, conceptualism and social practice. Inspired by the artist’s own family history, recent iterations in the series have focused especially on violence against women, including instruction-based wall paintings in which male painters are asked to meditate on global gender violence statistics before executing the work.

Images below are from several exhibitions of this ongoing series:
