\n<\/span>Artist\u2019s statement about the exhibition: Future Fables is a series of graphite drawings that explore the relationships between personal experiences, feminist theory, and which (if any) moral lessons will be carried into the future. My work is rooted in themes of sexual discrimination, objectification and gender roles, but is assembled in a way that connects with the viewer through a narrative, story-telling lens. These drawings appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, and past and present fuse to create surreal statements about the lives of women and the ways in which we can build a better future for ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n
