Liminal Femininity | Jessica Philbrick
4 August 2022 – 28 August 2022
Jessica is a Manawatu-based artist working with constructs of femininity through domestic spaces. The spaces employ elements of liminality and make use of a feminine colour pallet to explore ambivalence of femininity in transitional home- environments. Many of the space are of personal significance or experience as a representation of everyday thoughts and emotions of a young woman’s sense of domestic space and relationship to home. The spaces are typically empty to allow for viewer projection of their own memories with domestic spaces.
