Bunny Edwards is a multidisciplinary artist who explores themes of femininity and surrealism within her work, creating captivating compositions through the use of lighting, texture, personas, and staged imagery.

Edwards’ current work explores the idea of unrealistic beauty standards and how society has presented women in the media, including films that date back to the Hollywood era, of which present women through the ‘male gaze’. The series of works explores these unjust standards, whilst reflecting on and taking inspiration from films such as Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) and Roger Vadim’s Barbarella (1968). The series highlights the impractical expectations that the media has set for women, including bodily, beauty, and unjust aging standards, in hopes of changing how women are misogynistically presented in the media.

The ‘Gaze’ is a playful yet confrontational piece, exploring how female characters are unnecessarily objectified for the male audience, whilst pushing the boundary of who is truly in control of the gaze.
