This work is an exploration of how the body can be used to evoke intellectual and emotional engagement through a painterly language. I attempt to redefine the traditional subjects of figurative painting against a psychosocial discourse of identity and the interior mind of my female experience. As a woman painter representing the female form, I seek to carve out a space to reflect on my own female agency. This work is created within a feminist framework in attempt to honour, empower and make space for the feminine form. Represented by The Frame Gallery Sharon Duymel Waikato, NZ Body Language IV oil on Belgian linen
