Passive Aggressive


Had a critique on this and a visiting artist/teacher brought up that my drawings have a lot of passive aggressive content, and all relate to a post 9-11 youth mindset. He thought this woman was a terrorist and explained how whenever he sees a woman covering her face with a burka he becomes extremely upset because the idea of it suggests that she must protect her face from his masculine rapist gaze. I told him it was just a drawing of a woman with a hood on and he told me I need to look inside myself and realize the content of my work. (exhale) Art School go hard.....
