The female form has been a constant subject in art focussing on external appearance. Venus figures have been around since the Palaeolithic unchanging in their enigmatic femininity telling of a life and rituals long forgotten. Each figure has been made for a “normal” woman and reflects their stories. This work investigates the hidden depths of the mental landscape of women shaped by social and cultural forces today. Their lives may be as far removed from the Stone Age as the modern resins they are made of; yet there is a recognisable link. Kindly photographed by a colleague at Niche Art-space.

The female form has been a constant subject in art focussing on external appearance. Venus figures have been around since the Palaeolithic unchanging in their enigmatic femininity telling of a life and rituals long forgotten. Each figure has been made for a “normal” woman and reflects their stories. This work investigates the hidden depths of the mental landscape of women shaped by social and cultural forces today. Their lives may be as far removed from the Stone Age as the modern resins they are made of; yet there is a recognisable link. Kindly photographed by a colleague at Niche Art-space.
