The Red Carpet Series explores how women have chosen to beautify themselves, an issue that has plagued feminism. I am keen to address western society’s infatuation with celebrity culture which seems to validate a certain type of beauty/ideal. A culture that is akin to the adoration of goddesses in western art history.  Psychonalysist,  Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) suggests that the drive for being desired by others is so strong that it creates the exhibitionist within us. The Red Carpet series intends to capture the very essence of the glamorised celebrity who exposes as much flesh as she dares to draw in the male gaze and the media who exasperates it.  By focusing on her back or cleavage I reveal how celebrities are reduced to flesh and form, which ultimately reduces the woman herself to anonymity.
