[Current] thoughts on my concentration

I am currently thinking about a concentration based on gender. I believe gender is a fluid concept, not stagnant as modern society claims it is. I want to explore different looks/styles/identities. I also want to dispel the belief that gender is based on biology, not to mention the one that sex is connected with gender expression. As expression is a purely physical manifestation, I would love to show the extremes from one end to the next. Male, female, and everything in-between. The transition of gender and the easy, gradual change is a very appealing idea to represent through art, particularly with clay. Clay would be a great medium to use because of its similar qualities to the concentration - it is easy to manipulate and transform, and can be used to chronicle a design to the most minute detail, yet can also be used to coarsely suggest a figure in a plain manner. I want viewers to understand - or to think about - how gender affects society and their own lives, and I hope to evoke some sort of response with this concentration proposal.
