FROM THE BACK COVER
Things Men Have Said To Me Instead Of Hello is a deeply personal, yet universal, collection exploring the subtleties of sexual violence women experience every single day.
By sharing actual messages received on dating apps - blown up to unignorable proportions and rendered in symbolically feminine mixed media (lace, vintage jewellery, safety pins, pearls) - this collection wants us all to acknowledge how heinous and bizarre this behaviour is. But more than that: how normal and insidious it's become, and what that says about how far we still have to go.
Things Men Have Said... is an invitation to see, name, and stop accepting what we've been conditioned to tolerate.
“These works don't simply speak. They invite reflection. They ask you to listen beyond what is said out loud.”
“Goes far beyond 'mere feminism' or provoking. It's a silent snapshot that mirrors our society (at least some part of it) and is very witty and fun”
QUOTES FROM VISITORS TO THE EXHIBITION AT MDS STUDIO GALLERY
“From the very first time I saw this work, I connected to it deeply. The message behind this exhibition is powerful, necessary, and timely and it stayed with me long after that first encounter.”
MELANIE SMITH, GALLERIST AT MDS STUDIO GALLERY
