FRAMED: Her Body

Statement

by Stephanie Spindler

This work was done in 2023-2024.

Central to my work is how materiality, representation, and experience might shift ideological paradigms that systematically perpetuate stereotypes, normalize divisive practices, and diminish the body's holistic possibilities.

Framed: Her Body has come from exploring theoretical and pragmatic structures that are internalized into beliefs, cultural norms, and subjective perspectives.

Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, historical contexts, and contemporary discourses, my installation serves as a platform for dialogue and introspection. They invite viewers to confront their preconceptions and engage with the profound social and cultural implications of gendered embodiment.
