Linder Sterling was born Linda Mulvey in Manchester in 1954. A radical feminist and prominent figure of the Manchester punk scene, she is perhaps best known for her photomontages. These montages often combine pornographic images with images from women's magazines, particularly images of domestic appliances, making a point about the cultural expectations of women and the treatment of female body as a commodity.
I was drawn to Linder Sterling's work due to her clever and provocative use of photomontage, as well as the frequent use of flowers in her work, which also feature prominently in my own project. I also admired her use of symbolism (images of domestic appliances to represent the pressures and restrictions put on women, pornographic images to represent the reduction of females to sex objects, etc.) and hope to be able to get across a message through the use of symbols in my own work as effectively as she has in hers.
