The "Body
of Evidence" series explores the female images. The series explores
not only the design image of the female torso but also the way
women are viewed in our society. Women are viewed as sex symbols
useful
for selling product. Lady Liberty inspires patriotism. Guardian
Angels are almost always female. Joan of Arc embodies the idea
that we can
conquer any adversity if we only believe in ourselves enough.
Women, hearth and home symbolized true happiness in the '30s,
'40s, and
'50s. Women and their efforts are often overlooked. They are
ignored, physically and mentally abused, and forced into bondage.
Textiles are associated with everyday life, with
domesticity and the women's domain. This association of the medium
is used to focus on the everyday assumptions of women's roles.
