| ARTIST STATEMENT: | - | |
|
Miranda Whall’s interdisciplinary practice
recurrently and playfully discloses aspects of her sexual,
intimate and expressive self; representations of both her body
and her experiences. The self portraits are personal, intimate,
exhibitionist and explicit. Whall is interested in the
positioning of these self portraits in the world extrinsic to
her and the relationships that occur when playfully and often
inappropriately citing or expressing them, and how the placement
and or misplacement of an expression can be impacted upon or
impact meaning. In doing so she draws attention to and discusses
the appropriateness and place for these dimensions of one’s self
as well as both the politics surrounding feminine identity and
of trying to be the author and owner of her own sexual and
feminine image. Whall explores and questions how and where and
in what forms aspects of femaleness can exist and be celebrated.
Miranda Whall is currently Fine Art Lecturer at University Aberystwyth, Wales. |
