Tattooed Gloves by Ellen Greene

The Tat­tooed gloves explores the con­trast between two oppos­ing tra­di­tions. The vintage leather gloves func­tion as a fem­i­nine arti­cle of cloth­ing and tra­di­tional tat­too as a mas­cu­line artform. The gloves evoke a sense of purity, mod­esty and for­mal­ity. In oppo­si­tion the tat­too can sug­gest sex­ual free­dom, rebel­lion and crim­i­nal­ity. The ten­sion between the object and the image cre­ates a beauty that is both androg­y­nous and non-traditional.
