I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar
I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar is a fierce proclamation of a new sense of being, recognizing the powerful forces of fearlessness, authenticity and femininity that drove the emotion in this artwork. Waggett expertly balances the raw and unrefined with the elegant while colliding the intimate with the epic. She embraces her artistic roots and Mancunian heritage through Victorian textures and themes, gilded in precious metals, the primary medium as seen in this title work.
"I am Woman, hear me roar’ presents the boundaries I have pushed using the caliber of craft I possess and by stripping back and manipulating the work and materials in ways I haven’t previously attempted; increasing scale, blending textures and materials and destroying clean lines.” - Elizabeth Waggett
