XX: unfixed variables is a solo exhibition by QCAD student Patricia Malt. Embodying biological markers and hijacking the tradition of the "nude', these works transgress conventional feminine beauty standards to explore the body as unfixed and variable.
"I playfully construct these investigations in drawing and painting to create sites of feminist resistance, aiming to offer the viewer alternative possibilities, many values for X, where the naked female is subversive, undisguised and freely imperfect. I want to offer space for contemplation of these alternatives in richness and variety of form as options not readily evident in the limited status quo."
