A Bigger Splash.

Feeling as though I had some interesting theories to look at within my work I felt lost as to how to put that into a physical piece so, I went to the 'A Bigger Splash- Painting after Performance' exhibition at the Tate. Many of the art works present feature the use of the body or face as a medium.

I really liked this piece; "Just Another Story About Leaving" by Urs Lithi because it is clear and evident what he is showing you, yet very simple in its form, which I felt made it quite poetic and clever.

However, The piece that I was most grateful for seeing during the exhibition was Lynn Hershman Leeson's 'Roberta Breitmore'. This is a photograph that she has labeled with everything that she had done to her face in order to make it more attractive.

When looking at this I felt like Lynn Hershman Leeson and I had the same questions to ask. Is there a recipe  for womanhood?
