Art Criticism Fine Arts Gender Gender Studies art textile art textiles gender queer theory queer gender theory masculinity masculinities bodybuilding body male body weaving knitting jacquard jacquard weaving jacquard knitting TC-1 digital social media This essay analyzes the works in Trey D. Gehring's M.F.A.- Textile Arts Thesis Exhibition <i>Musclebound</i>. The writing discusses how this exhibition presents, in the form of woven and knitted works, the male body as a decorative object and proposes that the sculpting of the male body into an idealistic form– suggestive of patriarchal power and extremes of biological maleness– is an intentional act of objectifying one’s own body to allow for homosocial bonding within the patriarchal structure that regulates men’s homosocial interaction. It further asserts that the digital nature of the processes, imagery, and their underlying reliance on optical mixing emphasize the abstract quality of identity and gender. 2017-05-04 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent149304150341196 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent149304150341196 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
