The philosopher Simone de Beauvoir said: “One is not born a woman, one becomes one.” My work deals specifically with how we, as a culture, become women (and men) as distinctly influenced by our interpretations of literature – specifically fairy tales. My series of photographs Proudly To The Vast Ballroom deals with our current societal ideas of gender and domesticity and how our memories influence those norms and, in turn, are influenced by our fairy tale culture. The work in this specific exhibition also strongly relies on staged scenes from my own marriage used to explore modern femininity as it responds to stories we were told as children.
