Label Text: Artist's statement: "This photograph was made in 1976 while I was finishing my MFA at Rhode Island School of Design, while studying there with Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, Lisette Model and Minor White. While I found the program, its instructors, and fellow students supportive and inspiring, I couldn’t help but want to “push the envelope” by working within the emergent field of color photography and by challenging traditional representation of women by male photographers. Self-Portrait in Hot Water, complete with unshaved armpit and confrontational self-assured gaze, is a literal and metaphor comment upon women’s new role.”
