The concept for Shelby Writing a Check came from a discussion in sculpture class about poses that challenge stereotypes. One of the students suggested the idea of a woman writing a check. I jumped on the idea and worked alongside students that semester to create this piece.

I asked Roger to come up with a pose that challenged gender stereotypes in a figure drawing class I taught one semester. Since he often cooks for his family, he found a wok and spoon in the shelves of still life objects we kept on hand and posed holding them. A few semesters later he took the same pose in a sculpture class. I joined the students in making a clay sculpture.
