Description

Issues of gender are being addressed across the nation. In nearly every case, these gender issues are discussed from a myopic point of view or by taking a viewpoint that is based upon opposition. By examining individual idiosyncrasies as well as socially-imbedded myths and truths, "Contrafusion" tested the responsibilities each person faces in art and in life. The investigation challenged the ego associated with individuality and the humility required in a partnership of opposites. "Contrafusion" revealed the extraordinary opportunities such a collaboration offered to establish a broader base of understanding and mutual respect rather than an unrelenting battle for the highest position.
