My first painting of the show. The composition is from a picture I took in my BA inside of a Wetherspoons; a hole in the ceiling leading to the Ladies room. As a fat figure falls through the ceiling, almost as if being fat excludes her from being a woman, a brown woman welcomes her down by offering a glass in solidarity. She is stuck in this lower non-woman place as well. This painting is about introspection where you take in external ideas about your own characteristics and internalise them - like the media saying that desiring a fat woman is a joke, or that blonds are best or that the lighter the skin, the prettier you are. This painting is about how the years messaging may put you in a place where you can’t consider yourself to be desirable.
