TEXTILE PORTRAITURE
MISS MOCO 2/ ADAM MOCO 2 86"X52"
THIS IS A DOUBLE-SIDED PORTRAIT OF ADAM MOCO AND MISS MOCO, HIS DRAG PERSONA. THIS WORK WAS PART OF MY MASKING SERIES. NOT ONLY DO DRAG QUEENS PUT ON A PHYSICAL MASK OF MAKEUP AND PADDING, BUT CREATE AN ENTIRELY NEW PERSON TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. DESPITE BEING A DOUBLE-SIDED PIECE, THERE ARE ACTUALLY FOUR SIDES TO THIS PIECE. ADAM AND MISS MOCO HAVE IMPROVISED ABSTRACT QUILTS SEWN TO THEIR BACKSIDES. ONCE THE TWO PORTRAITS WERE SEWN TOGETHER, I CUT INTO EACH PIECE AND WOVE IT TO THE OPPOSITE PORTRAIT. THE BACK OF MISS MOCO MERGED WITH THE FRONT OF ADAM AND VICE VERSA. A PORTRAIT OF MISS MOCO OR ADAM MOCO WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THE SHOWING BOTH SIDES.
