The “It’s Because You’re Pretty” series reaches for opposing ends of beauty’s spectrum. It pulls on the attention beauty attracts as a path for the artist to create beautiful forms for form’s sake, a practice traditionally not reserved for female artists. It reminds us that women are often expected to speak to societal struggles within our art, even if subtly.
Poem that inspired the collection:
“It’s Because You’re Pretty”
When the value
Of what you say
Only seems to matter
If they find you beautiful;
What a cliche.
