The Creation of the Female Creature is both frightening and fascinating, giving shape to the female creature Victor ultimately destroys. The hand-cut paper sculpture includes imagery from Henry Fuseli's The Nightmare and Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women. In stitching together these different influences, Barbara enacts her own process of creation not unlike Victor’s, reclaiming the body of the female creature as a site of both horror and feminine power.
Paper Material: Hahnemühle Bamboo
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
