Cynthia Thompson

"Murmur"

My work contains strong religious undertones and has often been described as “Catholic” in nature. The surfaces and materials I use in my work refer to skin or flesh, their ability to allure and seduce the viewer is of great importance. Using the body as the site of intense investigation, I explore the physical manifestations of denial, shame and oppression; issues surrounding the female body and the social expectations implanted in girlhood. In particular, I share my own experiences of having grown up female in the religious South.
