I have no children at home so this is my week of research and pulling together what I’ve already read.
Firstly my biggest question feels like whether I need to be going beyond the Beauty Myth and examine more closely how Feminist artists have been self-representative in their work in order to break new boundaries particularly in the context of the female body and how it has been portrayed historically.
Perhaps this is too much to squeeze into a 3000 word essay. I’m reading so much that I want to include. I’ve discovered Lynda Nead, Susan Bordo and I’m now understanding, really relating to, the idea of the abject in feminist art.
It is FEMINIST art that’s really getting me excited about the research and my work.
