Made UpUnknown Date (has links)
Made Up, a body of paintings, expresses my love/loathe relationship with the beauty/fashion industries and the fantasy/deception they instill. Aging amplifies my fear of being rejected or invisible and is assuaged by being made-up. Pages torn from fashion layouts are manually distressed to become the visually striking crumpled images that are the basis for my painting. The wrinkled nature of my source communicates my frustration with aging and never being able to meet the standards of modern beauty ideals. My careful repainting of the disfiguration demonstrates my desire to intimately repair and own the image. In taking my power back through painting, the defiled magazine spread becomes a layout of my ability and power as a painter to create and control the illusion. Paint enables me to accept myself through the virtuosity of its application, scale, and in the resulting illusion, in which cathartic moments of subversive humor play out. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Female Beauty in Young Adult Literature: Male gaze in Laura Ruby’s Bone Gap and John Green’s An Abundance of KatherinesUnknown Date (has links)
Standards of female beauty have long been a source of debate within Western
society. Determining who dictates these standards of beauty and how these standards
inform individual value seemingly become more and more determined by the individuals
themselves, yet there remains a high value placed on white, thin and cisgender females.
This standard, although increasingly challenged remains the default for beauty in our
society and within our literary culture. This thesis works to expose two modern Young
Adult texts, John Green’s An Abundance of Katherines and Laura Ruby’s Bone Gap, for
the ways in which they continue to reinforce these standards of beauty in women. While
presenting challenges to these stereotypes, the standards set out in these texts ultimately
portray women as defined and controlled by men. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
