Pamela Stretton

(b 1980, South Africa. Lives and works in Cape Town )

Pamela Stretton's work explores a dynamic play between 2 elements; involving not only the visual binary of scale; but also the merging of digital photographic print mediums with handcrafted re-working. Her subject matter originated as a self-study focusing on feminine beauty ideals inspired by a past battle with anorexia. Her work has evolved gently in a few directions exploring amongst other things notions of consumerism; women's roles in society; narcissism and plays on social media. ”‹
