"During her remarkable video Playing Peter (2007), Erika Swinson documents the process of how quickly and easily the female body can be modified to appear masculine.  All a girl needs is some duct tape...Sprinkle, Hammidi, and Swinson raise some important questions for this exhibition:  Who gets to be recognized and acknowledged as a man?..." - Tanya Augsburg, pg 27, Introduction:  Some Starting Points, Theories, and Themes, Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze catalogue.
