Let Them Eat Cake

Mixed Media

2024

Plaster, leather acrylic paint, metal hardware and piping tips.

Wearable Harness and Matching Choker. Derived from the explorations of Cindy Sherman, Let Them Eat Cake exposes the scopophilic tendencies of male dominated media, returning the gaze and provoking the questioning of traditional gender roles. By juxtaposing the domestic craft of baking and the sexual motif of a leather harness, the artist challenges conceptions of the domestic angel.
