Description
The Swan is an important character in Russian folklore. Since the color black is conventionally associated with masculinity, the black swan in "Russian Lace" is meant to be regarded as a male. (It appears blue and green here as it does in bright sun.) Exploring the contradictory nature of beauty, I have surrounded the male swan by traditionally feminine artifacts: on the one side, vanity box ornaments and on the other side, a Russian lace shawl.
