Multitasking From A Womans Perspective by C Strickler

Materials: cotton thread, fabric and acrylic paint on canvas

24 cm x 30 cm

Set against a cartoon-like backdrop, this scene depicts Western Culture’s obsession with productivity. She must use her time to do it all: work, better herself, socialise and be a caregiver. Stitching is used to pull the fabric around her forehead into furrows. Frayed Fabric represents her mental state. Multiple, disproportionate limbs represent how she must warp herself to fit into social norms.
