I think as well as exploring the metaphorical armour that women might need in a patriarchal society I am beginning to think more deeply into female vulnerability; I don’t want to present a female version of machismo. Is vulnerability a positive ……to be valued
So I blagged some zinc off cuts from a kind colleague and started making a corset….as armour. thinking about the need to comply to fashion, possibly more a female wish than male currently, but by achieving the hour glass figure approved of as sexually alluring it emphasises the female role. I am experimenting with binding it on in various ways and also re-learned to drill holes so I can link the parts.
