I Wasn't Brave Enough To Turn. - Liorah Tchiprout
My work is concerned with belonging, girlhood and the theatrical. I build physical puppet characters to construct my own pantheon from which to draw images. This methodology allows these characters to sit in between the real and the imagined, drawn from a reality that is constructed. Through them I am searching for a confronting gaze, a fleeting glance, intimacy - they become a conduit for feelings beyond words. I intend to build a world which recentres the stories of women and girls - a world for them to liaise, interact, and plot in.
