Animation Experimentation
The following piece is primarily inspired by artist Polly Nor, who is famous for her exploration into the concept of ‘women and their demons’. The theme centres around self esteem in modern society, the female identity, and the portrayal of women. Inspiration also seemed to be drawn from her own struggles with mental health. I found this an incredibly interesting concept and wanted to look into this myself which then led to this piece. I wanted to explore this further by adding animation in order to bring the piece alive. This is a depiction of a woman subverting Laura Mulvey’s male gaze theory, instead of being objectified for hegemonic pleasure she has deconstructed herself to the bones to convey her true, inner self. She would rather be comfortable in just her skeleton than to conform to objectification, raunch culture and sexualisation in the media and modern society. This is a zeitgeist of the woman’s ideology of society during the fourth wave of feminism, when we cannot see improvement we must take it upon ourselves to act in these times with art and culture.
