Artwork description
Which Jane Austen heroine could this be? The defiant Anne Elliot from Persuasion? She is advised to break an engagement but defies this decision. Her look says it all. She is focused and determined, nothing like the ingenue she could just pretend to be.
In this Regency-inspired giclée art print, the Pretend Ingenue looks away quite defiantly.
This project is part of the Quiet Rebellion. This project aims to give a voice to women who didn't have one throughout history, connecting the dots and inviting them in a scene that reflects their oppression and the ways they had to learn to rebel "quietly" from the place that society gave them, accepting their lot, feeling under pressure to conform. Their only form of escapism was to rebel inside, moving things slowly like a butterfly's wings, creating a snowballing effect across history. This project reflects the story of all these women who could not use their voices. I’ve found my inner self deeply resonating with the paintings of Artemisia Gentileschi, not that I've endured similar oppression. Still, since childhood, this desire to be a free and independent woman was always rooted in me. My idea with this project is to continue to rustle feathers, building up the quiet rebellion and bringing out that powerful voice that I have tamed for so long!
