My watercolour and coloured pencil piece named, Not Perfect Enough, focuses on the 1950s social expectations for women. As blue male hands appear on three sides of the screen to touch up the pink-themed woman's makeup, she stares blankly out at the audience. She may appear ideal because she is blonde, slim, and extensively covered in makeup, but she still has surgical lines all over her body and face. Barbara Kruger influenced me to concentrate on the detrimental effects of gender and how they have affected society's expectations of women.
