WORK 11/117 (1): Houses of Parliament, damage by suffragettes
‘I chose a document from The House Of Parliament stating the damage caused by suffragettes. I made a model of a suffragette. The women were seen as strange or a nuisance by many men. So, I wanted to create a physical piece of a suffragette and create a delicate or peaceful touch to it e.g hand sewing the clothing, adding a pearl and rose. This was to show that they are just like everyday women, with sewn pieces and a sweet appearance, just with a motive and message.’
