Gender Bending with Linda Stein

by Joyce Beckenstein

At first glance, Linda Stein's mixed-media sculptures stoke the gender stereotypes they reproach. Truncated female torsos clad in sexually charged leather provoke. Curvaceous figures collaged with Wonder Woman comic-strip pulp dazzle. But Stein leaves no doubt about her feminist intent. A master of paradox, she revels in psychological conundrums, as evidenced in Fluidity of Gender, a five-year-long traveling exhibition of her gender-based works. Wit enlivens resolve in this show, which uses surface and texture to explore sexuality along a spectrum of definitions, many of them relatively new to contemporary jargon. From biological sex-the male or female gender nature assigns us, Stein moves to issues of sexual identity, the extent to which we psychologically experience our maleness or femaleness. Issues of sexual orientation (straight, gay/lesbian,transgender) further blur identities, as does sexual expression, the myriad ways people present themselves through behavior and dress. . . .
