Framed in pink and blue, these twenty works on paper center on Who’s exploration of a gendered identity, in this case by adapting representations of women and men, their anatomy or paraphernalia of motherhood or fatherhood, traditional gender roles, pairing found images or diagrams with drawing in charcoal, pastel and/or pencil. Some works also draw on art historical references, depicting famous sculptures such as Michelangelo's David or the so-called Venus of Willendorf.
