I’d love it if gender could be seen outside of the
LGBTQ community as a possibility, not just
assigned or borrowing from the binary. Club
kids have been living that ideal for years, punks
and drag queens mainstreamed it, today’s queer
community embraces it, and the fashion world
always appropriates the philosophy as a fad or
style inspiration.

Why?
Martine does not talk often about her intent, but she speaks a lot about where she gets her ideas.
Here are some quotes from her:

I-D.VICE.COM
Right. And maybe that's what's also confusing
- in a good way. I seem to be very confusing to
people all the time.
HUFFPOST.COM
Art has always been my haven from the
constant clamor of society’s boundaries, my
window to look inward. My work and process
give me the space to consider who I am and
how I see myself, without the white noise of
the external — outside of other’s perceptions.
INTERVIEWMAGAZINE.COM
I feel like the experience [of moving from California
to Vermont] paused my identity as a person for a
prolonged amount of time. I didn’t identify as
anything; I think partly because everyone kept
asking, “Are you this? Are you that?” and my
response, to protect myself, was to be like, “I’m a
little bit of everything.” I wanted to feel like there
was a choice, because I believe there is one.

Simultaneously acting as subject,
artist and muse, Gutierrez
embodies various imagined
personas and employs pop culture
tropes in order to reveal identity as
a social construct.
