FRUIT MACHINE

This project has been a challenge, I wrote every day during the whole process but decided to make a final reflection, reviewing everything I had written.
At first, I was a little lost because I did not receive my image until the following week.
The good thing was that we had a weaving workshop the first day so I had time to catch up. The workshop was very useful for me because learning a new technique meant I could express myself in another way. I immediately went to buy materials inspired by my image and I started to practice weaving and making collages trying to understand the materials of the fifties.
I took each element of Richard Hamilton's collage and analyzed it separately. I knew right away that I wanted to do something related to the figure of women in the 50s. How the beginning of capitalism affected women. Also, all the macho sexism that was behind.
The first step was to try to know in depth the fifties, watching movies, seeing the clothes that were used, fabrics, colors, textures. With this information, I made many types of varied textiles, both prints, and weavings. Then I started applying them to photos of women from the 50s.

I have always been really interested in feminism, and I'm really close to the issue of domestic violence. I wanted to use this passion for fighting for woman rights since I started the foundation course. I haven't got the opportunity until now to use this theme. For the first time, this theme introduced to me by the Richard Hamilton collage gave me the opportunity to show the domestic violence and sexism in this time.
