Valerie Gladwin Montgomery

 

 

My current body of work celebrates iconographies of female social culture and performance including references to the ballet, masquerade and cinema. My interpretation of a possible notion of contemporary femininity is not dainty, weak or tasteful, but colourfully aggressive, ferociously whimsical and dramatically excessive. Cultural influences such as beauty, stereotypes of girlhood, feminist gender identity theory and the aesthetics of camp sensibility form the basis of my research.
