NORA CAPLAN-BRICKER
Writer
ANGAL FIELD
Photographer
Caplan-Bricker has written extensively
about gender and feminism for The New
Yorker, the Washington Post, The New
Republic, and other publications. She
contributed many of the interviews for our
“Voices of the New Masculinity” package
and says the most surreal one was with
John Waters, as she couldn’t imagine
what the man behind Hairspray was like in
conversation. In the package, she explores
“the pleasure and beauty in subverting
and reinventing what masculinity and
femininity mean.”
Before the New York–based photographer
visited Jonathan Lyndon Chase at his Philly
art studio, Field was already an admirer
of the artist’s work—both Chase and Field
show their artwork at Company Gallery,
in NYC. “His figurative paintings of black-
queer fluidity are striking in their scope
and subject matter and are punctuated
by a gesture of intimacy,” says Field,
who uses “they”/“them” pronouns. Field
says they set out to echo that intimacy
in photographic form.
