2cm of Flesh

2017

Fashion Magazines preoccupied me, their lack of diversity and limited palate of skin tones bothered me, as if half the world doesn’t exist. Like wondering, as I do, why there aren’t more children’s stories with same sex couples. Does the printed world more often than not define it’s readers as white and heterosexual? I took some time cutting out flesh and categorising it. Not until 2015 with Vogue UK did women of colour really appear in advertising and editorial.
