‘The body is gendered…The body can thus be seen not as a blank, passive page, a neutral ground of meaning, but as an active, productive ‘whiteness’…The woman artist thus transgresses both what it is to be an artist and what it is to be a woman…The work is thus always a representation of the art’s gender, an embodiment of her embodiment of gender, a gendered self-representation, no matter what its medium or overt content…[Freud] suggests that women themselves should not concern themselves with the question as they themselves are the problem…’
