experience of being a woman, playing on stereotypes of womanhood that my friends and I experience every day. Becoming interested in female representation in art over time, my paintings are personal explorations of femininity created through a modern woman\u2019s lens. Shot through the eyes of women around me, I\u2019ve found photography an excellent media for capturing original photos to work from, moving forward to include fabric within my paintings, playing on preconceived notions of intimacy associated with the experience of being a woman. My work often prettifies stereotypes of intimacy and sexuality, questioning how viewing the work differs between the female and male gaze and understanding. The inclusion of fabric within my paintings stands as a symbolic link between fabric and femininity, embodying the historic value of domestic crafts that belonged solely to women. Needlework was seen as a skill associated with traits that women were expected to embody; remaining silent, obedient and disciplined. However, women\u2019s craft became seen instead as a revolutionary tool of power after the impact of the post-feminist wave, where women could take something that inherently belonged to them and use it as a language of empowerment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-345c2e22 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"345c2e22\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7cefe3e8\" data-id=\"7cefe3e8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70d3e6ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70d3e6ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sitesb.reading.ac.uk\/art-degree-show-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/elementor\/thumbs\/Penfold-J.-2-scaled-q6vtqz5qr6y5tecr0x7chywl6chgzfzv9yp9jn5nd4.jpeg\" title=\"Penfold, J. 2\" alt=\"Penfold, J. 2\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Emily\u2019s Bedroom, Oil painting on canvas, 2022<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-34df9c1e\" data-id=\"34df9c1e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7584e2fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7584e2fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sitesb.reading.ac.uk\/art-degree-show-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/elementor\/thumbs\/Penfold-J.-3-scaled-q6vtr3uxpd4lfg5x9h8hcfpw59ub1xiiylyoy0yoi0.jpeg\" title=\"Penfold, J. 3\" alt=\"Penfold, J. 3\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Fabric and Femininity: The Girl\u2019s Bathroom, Oil painting on fabric, 2022<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1bff4a86 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1bff4a86\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-50b27ba1\" data-id=\"50b27ba1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4986b326\" data-id=\"4986b326\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023 \u2192 BA \u2192 Jessica Penfold Jessica Penfold Instagram Intimacy with Organic objects, Oil painting on canvas, 2022 Focusing on the theme of femininity, my work evokes the experience of being a woman, playing on stereotypes of womanhood that my friends and I experience every day.
