SIZE 18
Size 18 is a drawing in charcoal, a piece in a body of work by the artist that explores female figures in different bathing suits. Here, the artist promotes a wider representation of body forms in contemporary art and in beauty culture at large. In the drawing, scumbling adds texture to the form’s shadows, and in turn, provides an alternative representation to the airbrushing and shaping so often employed by image editors in advertising. The form in Size 18 is an honest rendition that juxtaposes the influx of airbrushed images in the media.
