2013 ‘Objects Of Desire’

‘Objects of Desire’

‘Objects of Desire’ reflects the cultural conundrum of being female and continually subjected to the gaze facilitated by modern technology.
Sourcing contemporary media images and referencing the dire consequences of alcohol portrayed in Hogarth’s engraving ‘Gin Lane’ (1751), Barker considers historical traditional feminine skills and selects the needle as her linear drawing tool.
