Description: Foremost in this work was the use of symbols and imagery, and the use of the model: the imitation of popular
medias' use and exploitation of idealized female sexuality. Secondly, the symbols of economic wealth and
luxury, leisure time and decadence, power and persuasion as the aspirations of both consumers and creators of
media culture, regardless of socio-economic status.
Initially an experiment in the use of visual language, these new works raised questions: What is the pursuit
of happiness? What are the politics of desire? What is transcendent in the use of imagery that the popular
media exploits? |
