I decided to go off a similar route that I did my performance piece on since I wanted to stay within the medium of performance art.  In my last piece, I found the part that spoke to the most people visually and artistically was the use of golf and imitating the game to create art.  I wanted to examine gender roles within the sport, since coverage of females within the sport is almost non existent.  I tried to dress up like a male golfer while doing the piece (don’t know how well that was communicated).  I finished the piece by putting it on display in a grandiose male setting, which ended up being my fraternity house’s atrium.  I was aiming to give it a hyper masculine feel, so I edited it to show the power and force going into each of my shots.

While doing the piece, I had some trouble since I did not expect the balls to make it through the canvas without leaving a decent amount of paint. Rather less paint got on the canvas and bigger holes supplemented it.  However, one thing I was pleasantly surprised at was the effect that dirt and grass had on the piece.  By making it dirty with these earthy elements, I thought it gave it a down and dirty masculine feeling as well, which only added to my message.
