May 7, 2013 - One of the artists included in our current exhibition The Nude – Classical, Cultural Contemporary, is Patti Levey, who has been making nude self-portraits for over thirty years. Levey's process has been one of reclamation, metamorphosis, and My self-portraits were an attempt to reclaim my feelings, my identity, my body and my sense of personal power, while actually reconstructing my own photographic history. Oct 25, 2013 - The class was tasked with creating a self-portrait collage; the assignment seemed straight forward enough. Mar 7, 2014 - And while we may sniff about triviality and self-promotion and a culture of narcissism, more and more of us are doing it too. Apr 11, 2014 - Sadness Never Loneliness: A self-portrait of the artist as a desperate bride, addressing the cultural expectation that every young woman desires marriage.

May 10, 2014 - But already one of the pop-art style self-portraits — Key wearing an elaborate pink, feathered, war headdress, lacy pink knickers and a pink modesty star over her nipple — has been criticised for being culturally inappropriate. Smiling also has a large number of discrete cultural and historical significances, few of them in line with our modern perceptions of it being a physical signal of warmth, enjoyment, or indeed of happiness. Rosy Martin, a photographer and artist working particularly with self-portraiture, is not convinced. This is the cultural and social reflex of our time . That Stephanie happens to be the prime culture and settler colonialism is one of abuse.
