
Historically the achievement of women in the arts have been greatly underrepresented. In art history books and museums women are far more likely to be the nude subject of a work of art rather than creator. Women continue the struggle for inclusion in major museums, galleries, and collections. Appearing as sexual objects of desire and consumption throughout our visual lexicon, subconscious bias and behaviors are formed which hold women back. My work questions these concepts and the role repetitive imagery and messages found in fashion magazines, movies, film and ads play in shaping a woman's place of submission in society. Altering, rein-visioning, and interpreting historical works of art with a feminist modern twist helps me to purge toxic messages from my psyche. This helps me to process and reject these ideas with an intention of drawing attention to an issue that needs to change.
