having a go at a lighter approacher to Cultural expectations, the “armour” of fashion, joining the fashion herd so one cannot get picked off as a separate woman…a disguise but then again an opportunity to be creative. Creating one’s own personality/identity that gets subverted by the need to “belong”.
Clothes has probably always expressed status and membership of a group……being an “individual” can make one vulnerable. Shopping therapy is Making Choices, exerting the power to own. A bit hesitant to develop this as it does seem to be attacking the “victim”….but as an artist it releases me to be expressive without the need to be judged [by myself] for my drawing skills.
Is is Mary? Wyeth’s work I saw at the Jerwood gallery in Hastings I have in mind. very annoying to lots of people for it’s naivety, is it too easy? or more difficult? ROSE WYLIE, close but no cigar.
