Continuing my research into femininity I’ve been looking at how women have been represented throughout history. The Defining Beauty Exhibition – the Body in art in Ancient Greece and Alexander McQueen - Savage Beauty Exhibitions were an excellent starting point and very inspirational.

Moving on from the initial mono prints landscapes I have decided to try out a few different methods. I have dyed and torn strips of paper, layering them to create landscapes. Used alcohol inks on yuppo paper, pastel on black paper, using a brayer to paint on brown paper etc. I have enjoyed experimenting with all these methods and may go back to develop them in the future.
Today I have been experimenting with cyanotype printing, I have merged photographs of a male and female body to show how the distinctions between genders seem to be merging and blurring.
