WOMEN EMBODIED
IN 1982, when airbrushing and anorexia in the modeling industry were at their peak, Kathleen embarked on an independent project at Columbia College, Chicago with Ruth Thorne-Thomsen as her advisor.
Her aim was to depict the beauty of the woman’s body beyond the traditional framing of a mere portion of the figure juxtaposed with nature, without limiting her subjects to social ideals and dictates in terms of age and shape, and without objectifying the woman or her form through the male gaze.
Her goal was to record and honor both the beauty and individual identity of each of the women she photographed.
Shot in natural light in their own homes, Kathleen shadowed them with her camera as they went about their daily routines, or simply sat down to rest. The resulting photographs are small in scale to maintain a quality of intimacy similar to what a polaroid might convey.
Come share the joy and beauty of this collection of silver gelatin prints at Timeless Arts Gallery and Studio.
