This semester, I have had issues finding designs and subject matter for my projects. I tried to base most of my thoughts around the materials I am most interested in working with to figure out where to start. I was able to come up with some ideas based on my thematic threads from the last post as well as some others that incorporate some of the non-school-related thoughts and feelings I've been having recently. However, some feedback on my ideas would be much appreciated.
Research on Women's Healthcare:
- very misinformed
- maternal and menstrual health is not very good
- more likely to have major health issues and poor treatment that are totally preventable
- AFAB people have the highest rates of death from avoidable causes
- scarcity of clinical research/patriarchal-focused research
- 70% of those suffering from chronic pain are female while 80% of pain research is male-oriented
- the standard towards women's pain is to know and expect something is very painful but not do anything about it
- AFAB people experience adverse effects from medications at twice the rate as AMAB
(My one problem with this topic is figuring out how it can combine with my aesthetic)
Ideas:
1) Female figure to express what hidden pains or illnesses women face
2) Snake wall piece; representation of how the medical field treats women's problems
4) Dragonfly
5) Metal turtle; feeling torn apart and exposed
7) Humanoid flowers; women's disgust and anger
