Draped Women
My series of photographs, Anonymous Women: Draped is about becoming the dwelling itself; experiencing the double edge of domesticity. The domestic interior of the home is a place of comfort but can also be camouflage for individual identity when the idealized decor becomes an obsession, or indication of position or status. âStaying homeâ is a state that some women also aspire to as a place of power, while others abhor because of its prison-like atmosphere. In all cases, women need â A room of their own.â This series has references to draped statues from the Renaissance, nuns in habits, women wearing the burka, the Virgin Mary, priestsâ robes, and ancient Greek and Roman dress, among others. Hopefully, I am bringing humor to pathos.
