First post from Lauren the Painter

So yes this week has been quite eventful, however i have not had the chance to produce any work!

I plan to go to Finland for December in order to create some new work but also to pick up or perhaps sell work in friends houses. Otherwise i think the fresh air will do me some good and of course give me some inspiration.

My current focus is how to depict/comment on the objectification of the modern women, in relation to the issue of pornography and WHAT is the "modern" woman these days.
This project first came about when i was having a discussion with friends in Berlin, whilst on holiday and thinking about a strong subject to then somehow "react" to via painting.
Also by seeing an Emil Nolde show, which made me really think how a female artist could depict modern woman and what that would entail!

Anyways people, watch this space and i will post some photo ideas soon!
