I am an artist who uses horror as a tool to look at feminist issues through the utilisation of a series of charcoal drawings that highlight fears and experiences that women face in a patriarchal society.
My work is inspired by the way that horror movies use the genre as an allegory for the fears and experiences that women go through in a patriarchal society. I use charcoal on paper to create scenes that represent different issues that women face and use different genres of horror to achieve this. I created three pieces all inspired by seperate sub-genres, being gothic horror, body horror, and psycological horror. Each piece represents a different experience that women may go through such as how they are viewed in a patriarcal society, the fears that come from living in one and how hard that experience may be.
