Andrea & Christa Discuss Current Events, 2014
ink on paper
14 in x 17 in (series of 14)
Andrea & Christa Discuss Current Events is a mini series of 14
anecdotal drawings about laughter, love, sex, stimulants and depressants.
Based on the absurd happenings of the accomplices Andrea Hidalgo and Christa
Von Sydow, this series shares intimacy through it’s twists of truth, a play
with interchangeable “who did what” language and an insistence on the imagery
of beverages plus a penis* along with the associated conversation or
action. Is it more strange that these two women debate over the
appropriate use the term “pegging” or that at least one of them always seems to
have a wiener stashed somewhere in her purse?
* whether it is the representation of a dick or
the representation of a dildo is up to debate.

Two Things I Put Away When My Mom Comes Over …
Or When I Bring A Date Home., 2014

IUD in a shadowbox 8 ½ in x 8 ½ in x 1 5/8 in
(framed)
Two Things I Take Down When My Mom Comes Over …
Or When I Bring A Date Home. shares that which is considered simultaneously
precious and precarious to the artist. Great pleasure is taken in the
fact that the IUD, a sexual liberator and reliever of anxiety, oddly resembles
a Christ on the cross. Considered a blasphemous object, it is removed
from sight when a religious mother comes to visit. A drawing of two
coffees and a dick*, both the portrayal of friendship and of castration, has
long been an awkward discussion after being the first thing a guy is confronted
with when he is taking a piss the morning after, seeing that it is normally
installed over the toilet in the artist’s bathroom.
* whether it is the
representation of a dick or the representation of a dildo is up to debate.
