My main inspiration of this project was Barbara Kruger. Kruger is a feminist pop artist born in 1945 who, along with Jenny Holzer and other iconic activist/artists, used public spaces to communicate messages with their audiences. My project does not exactly mirror the works of Kruger, but "borrows" her style of overlaying words, almost ransom-note style, which pop out against a black and white image to spell out a message. My themes are also similar to hers in terms of content, relating to gender and identity. I drew upon her juxtaposition of vibrant words and visually dull but contextually powerful images to create my own version of her work which has similar themes but maybe more aggressively.
