Tessa Bergan, Deborah Eddy and Alicia Hollier are undergraduate students in their final year at QCA. They represent three different experiences of feminism. One Size Fits Most is an exhibition of installation and video works. The artists work in a playful manner using humour to express what feminism means to them at a time when feminism is apparently no longer an issue.
Tessa Bergan’s video work, again and again 2016, examines the continual quest for self-improvement and the alternating sense of pleasure and anxiety this process involves.
Deborah Eddy’s installation piece, If I had a dick… 2015, is concerned with the concept of maintenance labour and the work women do in the private and public sphere that is essentially invisible.
Alicia Hollier delves in the psychology of collecting through miniature works and assemblages. Her work, I only sew buttons 2016, speaks about her consideration of domesticity.
“As I scroll through Facebook and watch the news I am more and more disturbed to find that women are still struggling with inequality and violence. Sculpture is a way to vent my feminist frustrations.” Deborah Eddy
