Assignment Five

Demonstration of technical and visual skills

I feel I have now brought together my final set of eight images as a series. I have made minor changes from my last tutor meeting and am happy with the outcome. I have re-printed the images and re-done the collages to improve the outcome, I feel it has worked well. I feel my images are complete and do demonstrate the skills I have acquired and have used throughout this course.  

Quality of outcome

I have amended the small details that needing changing and I know feel that I have a cohesive series that works well. I am happy with the re-printing and re-do of the collages. I feel the outcome has improved dramatically. I am happy with the outcome of my work. 

Demonstration of creativity

I have used various techniques to demonstrate the oppressiveness of the patriarchy and how women are excluded. I combined my images and created a new one using a collage technique. I have also added another dimension. I have included a female in the image to reinforce my role in the journey and the creation of the image. These women are set on a map of each location to give context to the places. I have used bible quotes in a font similar to that of the bible which reinforces the inequality in religion and in my images. 

Context

I have followed a pilgrimage, as a women, which was designed for men. My work centres around exclusion. Women have been left out and excluded from many aspects of life, religion being one. They are viewed as being submissive, weak and ‘owned’ by their husbands. Gender inequality is rife throughout life, not just in religions, but can also be found in place like landscape photography. My work highlights in inequality in religion, landscape photography, in the arts and in life in general. I believe my work would sit well in postmodern feminism. To contrast the exclusion and inequality of women, I have included my own version of strong women, in the form of my family. They have all contributed to me, they are my ancestors and are apart of me. I used my own archive of images for this. I have given the locations context as I have included a map to a give a sense of being. I believe my images could also fit into psychogeography. I believe my work would fit several different disciplines, but is ultimately a feminist art piece.
