Lady Caterpillar Layers of handstitched fabric are suspended emulating a puppeteers control over it's puppet. With each layer she gets stronger and sheds her patriarchal constraints.. the caterpillar symbolizes that journey to freedom. Just as the caterpillar leaves it's cocoon and becomes a butterfly, so too does the female, battling ongoing oppression and control to take ownership over their own lives. Freeing themselves from the patriarchal ... A subtle commentary on how women's lives were/are dictated to by the church and state. Expected to stay within the realm of domesticity . Domestic tropes within the installation are representative of the females entrapment within the home, kept down by a patriarchal society. The mug is a dig at how women's choices are perceived. The puppet master is used as a metaphor / symbol of this oppression. Currently part of the exhibition New Works curated by Anne Mulee at @southtippartscentre @lemuela #ladycaterpillar #oppression #exhibition #behindcloseddoors #STAC #femaleempowerment #strength #she #her #domesticabusesurvivor #coercivecontrol #patriarchy #southtipperaryartscentre #tipperaryartists #clonmel #newworks #trauma #home #domestic #secondtimearoundclothing #handstitched (at South Tipperary Arts Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGcl_VfnNPS/?igshid=1gvoghwjacnfc
