Artwork Title: Body Beautiful
Artist: Elena Baxter
Artist Statement:
This Lino Print shows the imperfections of a woman’s body as perceived by the media. The rolls and marks on her body are shown by enhancing the carvings and colours in those areas. The black of the underwear was chosen to sink those areas back into the background to accentuate the features of the body more rather than place importance on the clothing. The message is a simple one, young females’ should celebrate their shape and not judge it.
