omschrijving

While working on my proposal for the Joke Smit Award, I was reading ‘Ways of Seeing’ by John Berger. In the third chapter he looks at the appearence of women in images and art, how their role differentiates from that of a man. He concludes the first passage from that chapter; 


‘’One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at’’.


A description that felt true and one that shed a different light on a conversation, between a granddaughter and her grandmother, I was witnessing at the time. The result was an object with which I wanted to explore the relationship between women/girls and the image they have of themselves. How this image is also - not only - created through the influence of other woman in their lives.
