A mixed media piece, "Woman, Past, Noise " uses acrylic and collage elements as the background to a woman's silhouette, based on a 1950s photo taken by famous fashion photographer, Lillian Bassman. This piece speaks to the female's role in society during that time period (delicate, elegant, yet subservient), and how even though women may have overcome such societal restraints, they still face the overwhelming background 'noise' of remaining strong, yet feminine, in the present day. Several words are present within the collage elements of the piece, highlighting what the artist views as the challenges perceived by women today, words such as 'compliance,' 'choice,' 'demands,' and 'violence." "Woman, Past, Noise" is a celebration of how far women have come since the prototypical 1950s housewife archetype, as well as the strength of women to continue to persist in the face of loss, tragedy, disrespect, and the everyday demands of living, working, and raising families.
