Boy Toys investigates the intersectionality between sexuality and identity these images reenact moments of innocent youthful play while raising questions about accepted heteronormative behaviors. A collection of ersatz human forms are used to question ideas of masculinity, sexual orientation, and the dynamics of power. Groupings of images address a variety of formal and conceptual concern; Contortions position the plasticized figure in provocative poses while confining the forms to the geometry of the photographic frame, Boys Will Be Boys deconstructs symbols of war and violence as playthings and Knowing is Half the Battle subverts overtly masculine action figures by placing them in homoerotic positions.
