get a load of patty carroll’s satirical snaps
Patty Carroll is an ace photographer who has been draping intense colour into her work since the ‘70s – and we were lucky enough to interview her about her snaps back in issue 99, so it's safe to say that we're pretty big fans. In her series Anonymous Women, Patty once again utilises bright photography to examine the existential turmoil of female domestic life, with the shutterbug using life-sized female mannequins as a metaphor to describe the historical association between women and interior spaces.
The overwhelmed mannequins in Patty’s work camouflage into their surroundings, hiding behind books, bamboo and birthday cakes, exploring how women were expected to uphold the unrealistic expectation of the perfect housewife: always cleaning, cooking and confined to life indoors.
