Carlee Fernadez's work, last seen at Platform Gallery's inaugural exhibition in 2004, has consistently involved the transformation and synthesis of two natural objects. Her sculptures, which integrated taxidermic materials with other "natural" objects, transformed the two individual forms into something entirely new and supernatural. In her newest work entitled "Man," Fernandez probes the power, aggressiveness, and macho beauty of the men who have been influential in her life and her art-making through contemporary self-portraiture. By juxtaposing her body next to or entwined with images of masculinity through photographs, video, and sculpture, the work is her dark reconciliation with her envy of "man."
