Tenderhooks Angela Lyon
12 July 2005 - 30 July 2005
In the Lower Gallery, Angela Lyon's photographic project examines the pressure to be perfect, to live ideal lives in dream homes with ideal husbands and children. She uses a mannequin as the primary subject of her work, using it (her?) to represent a perfect woman. Lyon is specifically interested in a post WWII role defined image of a happy homemaker, setting scenes of pastel perfection in order to also present the impossibility of control.
