Behind Closed Doors

In this series of wall plates, Behind Closed Doors, I reimagine source imagery from a book titled ‘In Praise of the Backside. The book’s collection features artworks of women from behind, as captured most often by men, frequently untitled and anonymous. In my reinterpretation of these images, the women transcend their status as objects of line and shade, to become subjects with emotion, thought and a place of belonging. Their interiority is drawn out by the richness of the interior spaces created through collage.
