Butch on Butch - photos by Jac Lynch, Photospace Gallery 23rd Jan - 9th Feb 2015 - exhibition info18/12/2014
'Butch on Butch' is a tribute to the people among us whose masculinity defies social and gender norms. They may or may not identify as butch, but on a daily basis they are confronted with others' view of them as such. Some of the people in this series of portraits claim "Butch" proudly; some want to do so even more loudly; and for others, it's just a label. This series of photographic portraits was taken in Wellington during 2014. Jac Lynch is a butch and lives in Wellington. "Butch is an identity I embrace. I enjoy who I am. I just wish I could go to women's toilets without raising eyebrows."
This is her second solo exhibition at Photospace Gallery, following 'The Orange Room' in June-July 2013. Thank you Wellington Photographic Supplies, 11-15 Vivian St, for helping with the printing costs for this exhibition.
