6 December 2009 - 17 January 2010: 'Cut-out Beauty' by Emily Hornum (QLD)


Emily Hornum looks at the feminist ideals of beauty and the feminine in popular culture.

Category: Exhibitions

She uses life-sized cardboard cut-outs of sexualised women from the world of fashion, advertising and pornography, which are juxtaposed against a familiar domestic setting. These two vastly different worlds of fantasy and reality collide in Cut-out Beauty, and our instant recognition of these silhouettes stress the raised expectations placed on women from the multitude of stereotypes that populate commercial culture.
