Use of fabrics and textiles in feminist art...

Feminist art works are often made from particularly tactile materials (often contrasting ones ~ e.g. silk and pins) which highlight the contrast between men and women, or show that despite women's bodies are soft, they can be strong too.

Inspired by such art, I want to create a set of pieces that reflect these ideas. I am going to use some colours that are commonly associated with women, such as pink and red, and some that are not, like black and brown.

Inspired by the above poster for a feminist gallery exhibition I am going to, and also by Emily Miller's "X Chromosomes" work, I am going to make a set of pieces that reflect ideas about women and their bodies.
