Subject: Women is an exploration of the place of women in fine art. Using Matisse's triptych, Three Sisters as an inspiration, Subject: Women begins with the imagined musings of Lorette, a young model who appears in over 50 paintings by Matisse but yet is relatively forgotten by history. Asking what the role of the subject is within a piece of art, this short performance piece looks at the way western society puts women within the frame, defining their roles in the arts as that of muse, inspiration, model, supporter, or lover. Where are our female artists? What does it mean for a women to take her own portrait? Do women have a place outside of being the subject of another man's story?
