Artist's CommentsAs ~SOLARTS explains: "This photo is of the mirror that my partner Robyn uses when she gets dressed. She decided that she didn't want to wear makeup because; 1) It tells young women that they have to wear makeup to be pretty, 2) Because it is a capitalist tool used to separate men from women, and 3) Women are constructed "to-be-looked-at" (see the work of Laura Mulvey) rather than as active participants in society. ...many people comment on her lack of make-up and suggest that she might want to wear it, or that she is odd for not wearing it. It drives me crazy. ...Additionally - I do not want this to be read polemically, in the sense that I don't wish to make women (or men) feel bad for wearing make-up. ...Do what you want! Don't expect others to be the same as you." Read the full explanation on the original deviation. PLEASE LEAVE ALL COMMENTS AND FAVES WITH THE ORIGINAL PIECE: [link] |
