Each piece is a limited edition of 12 printed on Somerset paper using Epson Ultrachrome inks, 26cms x 26cms, unframed
Montaged prints exploring how images of women are portrayed in the mass media. Each montage is made from two different images – a actress’s black and white publicity postcard from the twentieth century paired with a ‘twin’ in a similar posture sourced from a contemporary fashion magazine. On the face of it, the pictures are passive – idealised perfection – but there's a hint of resistance hovering in the background. I fracture the images – make their refusal to conform manifest – before re-combining them in collaged collaboration. |
