Well known paintings throughout history are referenced and presented in a gallery setting. The Missing Women/Parents Series is a playful yet earnest look at how women are presented but not represented in art, society, and history. Our verbal and visual communications present a white, heterosexual, cis-male perspective, leading to women's bodies seemingly on display for male appreciation. Women and girls are encouraged to succeed while taking on supportive roles. They juggle multiple responsibilities; all while being underpaid and pressured to look picture perfect. The image of the woman's body is omitted from renderings of famous paintings and photographic images, leaving on show the board it was painted on, to highlight the lack of documented female genius recorded in history, lack of proportional representation in politics, how their accomplishments are uncompensated, unrecorded, and appropriated; their bodies are ill considered and controlled.
