Venus

2015

My medium is digital collage, and my process involves photographing women in studio, allowing them complete autonomy in their poses. I then photograph paintings in museums and weave together the ideal elements from Old Master paintings to suit each woman. This work addresses religious art in the context of a canon of art history that expunges women and a religious history that subjugates women. This series depicts forgotten women martyrs and leaders, and challenge the erasure of goddesses by the power structures of the Patriarchy and the monotheism that have dominated Western Civilization. The work is an archival pigment print with applied gold leaf in an antique porcelain frame.
