The artist uses herself as the object of study. Her subjective position is
validated within a theoretical framework provided by feminism,
existentialism and Freudian theory. The three world views provide the
context for an analysis of sculpture produced between the years 1988
and 1997. Three one-person exhibitions held in 1990, 1993 and 1996,
are examined in terms of their iconographic emphasis and their
theoretical bias. The role of the unconscious in the genesis of the
sculptures and the problem of author/reader dichotomies in interpretation
are dealt with as thematic threads throughout the dissertation. / Department of History of Art and Fine Arts / M.A. (Fine Arts)
