Digital Collage using found imagery

1 x 0.7m

My practice concerns the mediation of images and the contextualisation of women, whether via broadcasting, media images and the use of blue/green screen or how women are presented in nature using ‘seductive’ pastoral imagery. My interpretation of this becomes a recorded and exaggerated parody or un-mediated response in the video work. In this way, I explore and critique notions rooted in cultural perceptions of the body such as: art historically, the ‘muse,’ the male gaze, the unidentified gaze, symbolism, feminism and the human condition.
