BA in Fine Art

My practice consists of taking the often over-sexualised robotic woman and placing them into a feminist dystopia renaissance. For the majority, women have been excluded from art’s history or seen as less than the male creator. As we move into the future, women are still being sexualised and belittled, but now in the form of gendered androids. My practice takes both art’s past and society’s future and creates a Female Cyborg Renaissance that empowers the future
of Womankind and cements them in an art historical context,
by placing them into iconic images from art’s history. The Future
is Gynoid.
