Lightness Of Being

Indian Ink and Acrylic and 1950 Der Spiegel newspaper on Arches Paper.

102x66 cm

40.16x 25.98 inches

Series of collage and ink on paper. The nudes are of a woman randomly taken from the internet, the cut out circles are from a vintage german newspaper Der Spiegel from 1950 all containing images of mens ties, usually without the head and most of them being prominent political figures at the time. The circles were strategically placed over the bodies. The patriarchy weighing down over the sturdy yet floating solidness of the female form.
