"Sluts & Studs looks at the language of sexuality, and the contrasts between the female and male terminology via dictionary definitions. Seeing these terms in the context of iconic 1950s style imagery is a gentle yet jarring reminder that despite the so called 'sexual revolution, ' the language of sexuality has not much changed, and is still largely a throwback to attitudes of the past."--Artist's website, viewed Dec. 12, 2012.

Archival inkjet print on rag paper in a flag book binding with a concertina at the spine, based on the concept by Hedi Kyle. When opened fully the flags match pictures of women with words of negative connotation (slut, trollop, tramp, whore, etc.) and picures of men with words that convey either positive, or at worst, imply a certain naughtiness (stud, rake, playboy, swinger, etc). Illustrated paper-covered boards with quarter book cloth.

Rare Book copy: Copy A/P; signed by the artist, 2008.
