‘My work questions the historical representation of femininity and women in painting. Bedecked in a rich colour palette suggesting tactile honeys and velvets, these characters are in movement and entanglement, trapped in acts of concealment and destruction. I use recurring motifs such as feather boas, fans and veils - transformative objects that obscure the gaze within my works. I subvert the historically patriarchal medium of oil paint to dismantle and create a new space to view femininity.’ - Lindsey Jean Maclean
