The Prick of Patriarchy: Is it possible to unpick and reweave the socially constructed gender stereotypes supported by many of the seminal works from the Western visual art Canon? Nic's work focuses on both inter and intra gender hierarchies. Inspiration is gained through the analysis and re-interpretation of iconic paintings from the Western visual art Canon. The resulting work attempts to question not only the boundaries inflicted by those in social power, but also the ideals we choose to accept and live by.
