My body of work represents my interest in the role of feminist thought in contemporary society, whereby the historical feminist fight for opportunity has equated to a backlash. Influenced by the works of the postmodern artist Sigmar Polke, my artwork is involved in the paradoxical concept that women can ‘have it all’; as the advertising campaigns say, they are ‘worth it’, yet the expectation and typecast of domestic housewife still stands as a strong juxtaposition. Herein lays the ever-present tension between the role of women; the silence and voice of the female gender. Is it still inevitable that women speak softly and carry a mop and bucket?
