This piece is about the role of
the man and woman in social norms. It was inspired by the doctrines people,
especially women of upper class had to obey and the propriety, which became
their slave drivers in Jane Austen’s Sense
and Sensibility. While the women are generically suppressed the men take
the spotlight. In this artwork I placed an eye in the woman’s and rooster in
the man’s face. The woman, although evidence to the contrary, is the window to the soul of society
whereas the man is the oblivious rooster who does not do so much as hatch an
egg but only fertilizes it.
