From Dan Halm’s article for the SVA Visual Arts Journal:
Lissa Rivera (MFA 2009 Photography, Video and Related Media) is challenging the status quo of societal gender roles, one frame at a time. Her ongoing “Beautiful Boy” series, which debuted last year at Rivera’s solo exhibition at ClampArt gallery in Manhattan, began with an intimate confession between two friends. In BJ Lillis, the subject and muse of the project, Rivera found someone with whom she connected on multiple levels.
