“A Dyke Walks into a Bar...” is a statement by the artist; an exploration of signifiers and the signified along with written language. The work questions the etymology of dyke, exploring its connotations in correlation to the artist's existence. A conceptual nod to modern art giant Duchamp occupies the side of the sculpture. “A Dyke Walks into a Bar...” is a provocative declaration whereby the viewer must disseminate how they approach particular terms. The artist has created a representation of her existence in an unconventional status, respecting the prior activist within the second wave of feminism, by reclaiming power in the form of lesbianism.
