DickStick

DickStick is a sculpture made with a regular pool stick and an epoxy of two eight balls. Studying the pool scene at local East Village Dive Bars, I made connections between the game and masculinity. I began to acknowledge that the game has a dominant power dynamic, where typically two men are holding their symbolic phallus in dual with each other. Playing the as women and watching other women play, it is shown that women are not taken seriously in the game and are almost considered jokes. Whereas the men aggressively and competitively try to prove their masculinity in front of the many spectators of the bar. Making the DickStick sculpture, I had a close friend play using the sculptural object while I directed and photographed the images.
