I Wear polarisation: Cyanotypes on cloth in a new exhibition.

Lauren Isaacs and Veronica Ward-Horner have created a multimedia piece as part of the INTERMEDIA show staged by UCA Arts & Media at Farnham.
Seven dresses have been treated with cyanotype chemistry and then printed with individually made imagery to reflect their role.

"The seven dresses represent respectively; the girlhood rejection of femininity sumptuous protest of the grotesque feminine, duality of the virgin slut, the hollow superficial female ego, the gift of patriarchy and security, the profit of "girl power" and Mrs. Obedient subordinate. The film projected in the centre uses clips from TV and film which mirror and compliment aspects of each of these dresses"



As well as being a complex and thought-provoking artwork the techniques involved should be interesting to everyone who works in this area.  Do go along if you can: Admission is free.
