the weaker sex

Simryn Kaur

the focus of the weaker sex is material exploration to visually represent emotion. in order to achieve this i am re-evaluating past experiences and considering frames of mind i used to hold in order to fully step out of them – conducting exorcism through craft. my work explores subversive femininity, desire, and female sexuality, and considers the ways that women are reduced to less than what they truly are in everyday life. using natural fibres, each piece in my collection is hand-dyed by me using an array of natural dyes, some of them foraged from around my neighbourhood. through this connection with the earth around us, we can begin to find what has been lost or taken from us.
