#bebeautifulontheinside

This reminded me of that great quote by John Mayer. "If you’re pretty, you’re pretty; but the only way to be beautiful is to be loving. Otherwise, it’s just ‘congratulations about your face" #wip #artjournal #artjournaling #quote #congratsonyourface #bebeautifulontheinside #layers #paint #acrylic #inks #stencil #stamps #paperbagstudios #ephemera #text #foundwords

Julia Eager’s #SociallyEngagedStillLife. A quote form her artist statement: 

"I wanted to create a piece that addressed oppression and unrealistic beauty standards. I used imagery associated with traditional femininity in the still life - underwear, a bra, jewelry, lipstick, a small doll - to represent's society's toxic beauty standards. A female nude provides commentary on realistic body types, and the beauty of bodies that are so often shamed and discouraged. The disproportionately small figure furthers the sense of struggling to hold up a great weight - of women being literally crushed by societal expectations. I hope to convey the heaviness and urgency of the issue, and speak to the plight of women everywhere."
