Wig Heavier Than a Boot
Friday, November 02 - 10:00AM to 10:50AM
Student Center Ballroom A, University of Kentucky
Wig Heavier Than a Boot brings together photography by David Johnson and poetry by Philip
Matthews. Revealing Petal--a drag consciousness as whom Philip manifests to write, and David
photographs--the project crosses art-making rituals with isolated performances within domestic
spaces and pastoral landscapes. Taken together, the resulting photographs and poems reveal
dynamic relationships between author, character, and observer. By articulating a specific creative
process in which one identity becomes two, the project in turn opens up a conversation about
gender expression through an art-historical lens.
