DECADE: 2020s

Connor’s work focuses on female figuration, form, and nuanced facial profiles to
highlight the nonexistent boundary between one's ability to feel beautiful and overt
sexualization when externally perceived. In an effort to reject the insinuations often
thrust upon the female form, she presents only highly rigid and resolutely geometric
portraits of women, without a stroke of curvature. By abstracting identifiable features
and removing individual characteristics to varying degrees, Connor re-examines our
perceptions on "appropriateness". Her mission is to create broadly familiar subjects that
reflect femininity as part of the whole rather than the Individual. Each piece is unique in
its perspective of the
subject, color, and
geometric
construction, but
when viewed together
provide a diverse
representation of
emotive female forms.
These works aim to
call attention to our
perceptions of
ourselves as well as
how we perceive and
pass judgment on
others.
