MICOL HEBRON

She has been engaged in individual and collaborative projects in Los Angeles since 1992, and is now an Associate Professor of Art at Chapman University.

ABOUT THE WORK:

In her most recent work, enraged by the social media algorithms that flag female nipples as pornography, Hebron created the male nipple pasty as a satirical proposition: the pasty, a cut-out of a male nipple, is to be placed over the (seemingly identical) female nipple in order to comply with the archaic modesty regulations enforced by these networks.
