Installation & print_project...photo studies

I am working on a studio project to learn more about victimization and agency [as it applies to female sexuality & rape]. The project is a combination of installation work, video, and intaglio prints. These are preliminary photos of some of the concepts and materials I will be using in my installation and video. The prints will be a major component to the installation and will emphasize the labor intensive and repetitive processes of printmaking as being vital to human expression and representation.
....more to come.

Visual Culture Project / Studio Work

...and so it begins [semester 1...otherwise known as S1].

The semester is split into two parts; research [visual culture project], which is doing research, annotations, and analysis and studio work which is not always but can be done in conjunction with the research.

My VC [visual culture project] is centered on the following question...
How has the feminist art movement [1960's-1990's] altered perceptions of power, identity, and gender?
Bibliography for the first mailing includes: Simone de Beauvior, The Second Sex; Broude, Norma & Mary Garrard, The Power of Feminist Art: The American Movement of the 1970's, History, and Impact; Catherine Belsey, Post-Structuralism: A Very Short Introduction.

My studio work will be centered on the following themes: victimization, reclaiming power, maintaining identity. I will be experiementing with video creation as part of my printmaking process. I may incorporate both into an installation work which explores issues relating to vicimization such as rape, and reclaiming ones identity.
