My work is a critique of how the Noughtie era has been an age which appears to offer people their identity flat-packed for quick and easy assemblage, in turn promising fun loving no strings attached personal empowerment. The crowns and all the other well crafted objects I make are set against this Noughtie backdrop suggesting a girl who has sat painstakingly making her own empowering objects. But despite her attempts Noughtie slander is thrown at her funky amateur version of Noughtie empowerment and she is written off as nothing more than boring. In a short story that I am currently writing the main girl receives applauds for her aspiration, her profound engagement with materials, process and creativity and yet is mocked by her Sex and the City poster; ‘Get a life’. But to view my work the story of the girl does not need to be known as the empowering objects become the main protagonists in her soul-searching tale.
