Artist Statement

During the summer of 2016, The Victorian Woman traveled on an epic month-long journey to Southeast Asia in an attempt to liberate herself from THE MAN. Their daily correspondence in the form of relief printed and hand-drawn postcards reflects their emotional struggles and curious revelations as they attempt to reconcile the nature of their relationship.

This project evolved from artists Colette Copeland and AWG’s performance video work. Inspired by Dada and Theater of the Absurd, Copeland and George create alter egos to humorously question cultural and gender norms.
