The Female Gaze
Artist Statment - ‘When I saw them complete and ready, that’s when I knew, these women represented revenge. They were fed up, angry, frustrated. They wanted to scream at these men, make them feel what I felt everyday. They wanted to stare back. They wanted the men to feel uncomfortable, to feel fear. They wanted the men to understand what they had taken, the basic human right of feeling safe and free in public spaces. These women were getting reckless and chaotic. Their necks longer. Their eyes bigger. They wanted these men to know what this gaze feels like. This hungry nonstop gaze to objectify, to put in fear, to show power, to make uncomfortable. That’s the gaze I wanted these women to take ownership of and make it the female gaze.’
