So here I am….what do I say?
Well, over the 3 years of the course I have not "found" myself or my practice until now, which is infact probably a little too late! I seem to have wavered from photography, to performance, installation and sculpture and now back to photography with the added bane of my life….video work!
After having done the dissertation (which they then lovingly tell you doesnt mae a scrap of difference to your degree as it doesnt count) back in January, and spending far too much time reading feminist texts which make me sit on the fence over feminism and feminist practice even more I have had to start the final work.
My current, and final work involves feminism in a big way, and sadly it lumbers me in the "feminist artist" band. I have decided to work with Burlesque and once again the female body and it's use in performance. Erotica, voyeurism and sexuality all play a vital part in this. However I chose to take the body and distort and abstract it, giving it whole new enchanting elements and meanings.
Lets see how it all pans out over the next 4 weeks that are left…
