About Jessica

Jessica Ballantyne

Jessica is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

For my final year at university (which this body of work represents) I concentrated fully on the female figure. Using photography and photoshop as an aid, I manipulated images of my body and super imposed stereotypical signs of femininity, in most cases lace, over the body or parts of the body. I'm interested in the objectified female form,which informs most of my works on display. In my work it is usually what is unseen that provokes the viewer. I wish to communicate as a woman the damaging effect of many male and female portrayals of women as "Woman", as an object as a sexual thing. At the same time I'm relating my experience of being a woman and being looked at to the viewer by making my bodies larger than life and somewhat threatening...
