Pretty Gross

A series that unveils the space that sits between seduction and disgust.

Pretty Gross critiques the way women’s bodies have been visualised in popular media, commodified in a highly sexualised way, yet simultaneously refused indulgence that sits outside of a hegemonic, patriarchal gaze. In this series, my subjects are invited to indulge in various forms of consumption not often visualised in images that belong to this visual canon. These image conventions were adopted from typical advertisements that feature women consuming food in an aim to parody the visual trope, pushing outside its “allowed” boundaries and forming a visceral viewing experience, one intended to both entice and repel its viewers.
