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:
