杰奎琳·梅 Jacqueline May

作为菲律宾和新西兰的混血艺术家,我的作品反映了在权利和压抑造成的不可避免的冲突。目光的交换和裸体表明男性对女性的阅读和占有的悠久艺术史。然而,在这些作品中,危机在于观众,因为这些女性已经继续前进,将自己从各种征服和殖民主义的不良情绪和认知中解放出来。她们正在观察,而我们在观察她们。
As a bi-racial artist of both Filipino and New Zealand descent, my work reflects the inevitable conflict in respect to privilege and societal oppression. Two internalized cultures working through the politics and practice of representation. The exchange of gaze and the nudity indicate the long art history of male perusal and ownership of women (maids, concubines, exotic muses, wives, daughters). In these works, however, the crisis lies with the viewer because these women have moved on, freeing themselves of the maladaptive emotional and cognitive states inherent within subjugation and colonialism of all kinds. They are observing us observing them.
