Appropriation: Final Images

I realise I didn't show my final work I produced for my Appropriation Project that I really enjoyed and wanted to share 3 as I found it a very exciting project. 
The concept of my work is to express myself through my images, approaching the subject of religion from a feminist point of view. I want my images to be successful in context, aesthetics and my own judgment on these subjects (religion and feminism).  
To create my images, I used the medium of digital editing, through Photoshop. I chose this particular method as I am very confident and skilled at working with Photoshop, and for what I wanted to create, I felt there was no other method that would have furthered or enhanced my images.






Barbara Kruger

Barbara Kruger is a conceptual artist that addresses cultural constructions of power, identity, and sexuality. Her works that question the roles of women in society are what inspire me most of all, especially for my project. Her use of text and relation to the imagery is a quality I’d like my own works to include. I think this relationship is a very difficult one to get right, but when it is can be very powerful. Her clever use of text overlapping he imagery to further her point is incredibly inventive. 



Guerrilla Girls

Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous group of feminist, female artists devoted to fighting sexism and racism within the art world. They hide their identities with gorilla masks as they believe that their identities aren't important, more their work is important. 



Here are some previous posts on this project showing more of my inspirations for this project:
