To have "Grit" is to persevere, to endure, to revel in the feelings of physical pain and discomfort. Jon Picinich's exploration of this idea lends itself to a physical approach to mark-making, performance, and material. The work deals with physical expression as a vessel for finding identity while grappling with what it means to be masculine and how that is constantly questioned.
