Nasty Women Wigan put on a dazzling show

Nasty Women Wigan put on a dazzling show

Sep 15, 2017 | Posted by jennysd | blog, News |

A short but infinitely sweet show put on by Cross Street Arts to celebrate the diverse and explosive brilliance of women, Nasty Women Wigan featured a hotter than hot selection of artists raising money for two local charities who support women.

Attracting artists who explore aspects of themselves, the female body or wider views on feminism. They chose pieces representing different facets of being a woman from live performance, music, film, collage, textiles, painting, illustration, sculpture and photography.

I was pleased to be a part of this exhibition and specially created a new piece of artwork titled ‘Heart of Thunder’ (below) 2017.

As I’m interested in our interaction with the landscape, my research asked questions about how women perceive and engage with the landscape differently? What role does the landscape play in shaping women’s identity? And how do women’s lives become visible across the landscape? Answers multiplied into more questions and I ended up creating a cheeky collage based on the shape (landscape) of the female body incorporating references to popular culture, uplifting slogans, inspiring female role models and less we forget, Trump himself.

About jennysd

Its a desire of mine to share my experience of the world through my paintings. An expressionist at heart, in reinventing the landscape I am attempting to create my own personal interpretations of what is vivid and charismatic. Currently based in the North West - Warrington and Kendal.
