Transgenerational Body Image: using illustration methodology to generate critical dialogue. The 12th International Illustration Research Symposium: Transitus: Illustration as Crossing Ground.

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

My doctoral research explores how illustration, clay, and the museum can generate critical thinking and discussion on Western women’s body image ideals. I respond to cultural discourse and gendered visual messaging transmitted through an authoritative space; ideals that are entangled in racist ideology. Through creating object illustrations mimicking domestic objects, I locate the home as a significant environment for the transmission of body image ideals by unpacking my own experience.
Close engagement with these object illustrations will be compared to 2D illustrations through a series of exhibition engagements; how can object illustrations be utilised ethically to generate critical discussion?
