My oil-painted portraits and still-lives represent feminine experiences of objectification under the male gaze, and the enforced mentality that our value as women is driven by our bodily usefulness. Vivid colours, sharp edges, and blemishes emphasised in my application of paint, along with the denial of eye contact, subverts the all too common sexualised depiction of women. The repetition of the chair throughout my practice encompasses the habitual patriarchal sexualisation of the female form. In this series, I refuse its sole intended use of supporting our bodies through destruction, thus imitating the way the male gaze determines feminine utility solely through bodily use.
Entangled with and emerging from these women, the broken chairs portray the lasting affect a history of societal demoralisation and objectification has on our minds and bodies. The wear and tear is lasting, suffocating, but together we are healing and becoming our selves again.
