Daddy's Little Princess. Solo Exhibition, Marsden Gallery. Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. 9 February - 24 March, 2013.
Sexualisation and objectification of young girls is a current social and political issue. This exhibition represents the way young girls in contemporary western cultures develop their identity based on popular culture and stereotyping which begins in childhood. Influenced through magazines, music videos, social media and the internet, these 'young consumers' are being seduced into stylising themselves on hyper-sexualised ideals.
