Some Body

  • Georgia Wall

This ongoing work explores the reaction to fear, blame and anxiety women often face caused by the threat of sexual assault or harassment in everyday life. Unjustly, blame is often put onto the women who have had these experiences. This body of work explores women's reactions to this threat, as well as the changes they make to their lives, actions and routines as a result of this. One example of this is everyday items being used as a protective measure in a weapon like manner, due to this constant fear. Through all the women I've spoken to throughout this work I've found near all women have at least one experience where they were sexually assaulted or harassed. out of these shared experiences, a sense of community has been created within this reality in which women live.
