Description
Cut
Cut is a feminist collage made with vintage magazines and a painted background and explores themes of voyeurism and gender representation. The work embodies the contradictions between objectification and power and recreates an uncanny ‘female gaze’ that is both ‘looked at’ yet also ‘looking’. This collage predates the #metoo movement in 2017 that made discussions of abuse and power within the film industry a matter of public importance – and heralded a resurgent and popular feminist voice within and outside the media and film industries. Inspired by the cinema and feminist film theory the large-format original was first exhibited with the ‘Tales from the Cutting Room Floor’ collection in 2015 that explores themes of voyeurism and gender representation. This is a limited edition of 1/50 printed in giclee, taken from an original photomontage and signed by the artist. This cut and paste mixed media is signed by Julia Andrews-Clifford and is part of the collection ‘Tales from the Cutting Room Floor’ (2015).
