Spirit & Muscle recalls a range of cultural interests including sport, modern abstraction, dance and cartoons. The work indirectly refers to early Cubist experiments by Picasso, Bauhaus dance performances, and the performing body in early video art. By literally inserting the female body into painted geomteric forms, Spirit & Muscle lightheartedly deconstructs the phallocentric male canon in painting and art history, as well as cultural ideals.
