Every Curve: Biggie and Tupac lyrics embroidered in vintage lingerie by Zoe Buckman

instal-5

Artist Zoe Buckman's text-and-textiles installation Every Curve “explores the both contradictory and complementary influences of Feminism and Hip-hop.”

The artist hand-embroidered Biggie and Tupac lyrics about women onto vintage lingerie, and in so doing, “unites the apparent contradictions between 'the masculine' and 'the feminine' in contemporary culture.”

The installation of these hanging garments “illustrates the oppositional perceptions of woman as sexual object, woman as love, and woman as creator; perceptions which, with recourse to history, remain unchanged.”
