Transformation Collages - Rather than responding to Louise Bourgeois, Thea’s collages juxtapose images of Kahlo with cuttings from high fashion magazines. Both Kahlo’s work and the magazine imagery feature visions of performative femininity, but to very different effects. The fashion photographs highlight the objectification of the female figure in popular media, stripping identity in favour of aesthetic delectability. The cuttings of Kahlo, on the other hand, stand in stark contrast, acting as potent reminders of female subjectivity. Through these juxtapositions, Thea’s works highlight the difference between an artistic exploration of the female body in relation to her subjectivity and the pervasive objectification of the female figure in mass culture. @arthausgalleryblog partnered with artist @Louise_Hall_Art for our montage project on the theme of #home #LouiseBourgeois #HWLearn #HWSomerset #isolationartschool Can you do one?
