THE GARDEN OF EVIL

"The garden of evil" is an ever-changing painting project that uses craft as a way to push against masculinity. Thinking about the history of painting and its male dominate nature, Azadi introduces a "feminine" form (craft) that could potentially replace the masculine form (Oil Painting). Stitches are replacing brush strokes while needles are replacing brushes. The humorous nature of this work aims to critique masculinity by referencing body parts as well as feminizing the masculine mind. Over time when balloons deflate or pop we loose the reference of masculinity and what we are left with is CRAFT.  

Material: Yarn, pingpong balls, tennis balls, and balloons.
