In the film "You've Got Mail" Meg Ryan says "what you read becomes part of your identity of who you are"...As a child we read stories too many stories of women finding pure joy and their identity in their man. These works by Bethany Allibone put a torch on the role literature has in shaping our identity. Her artwork "my constructed Voyeurism" challenges the sexualisation of women in novels especially pulp fiction. Her works explore the juxtaposition of men and women in stories and the escapism they create for readers. I love her use of colours, texture and concepts. Her 3D, multidimensional works brings to life her ideas so creatively.

she's so clever, and it's not just literature that shapes our identity as females, walt Disney has a lot to answer for
