| Moffat studied painting, sculpture, photography, lithography, drawing,mural painting installation art and art history at York University and became highly influenced by the photography of Cindy Sherman. During his years at York University he also studied gender issues and feminism. His artwork during this period dealt primarily with issues of gothic culture, sexuality, gender and feminism. "Inside the Feminist" was made in the Summer of 2000. The concept behind the series is to give an inside look of what a feminist can be like. Society has many stereotypes of what a feminist can be. Many or all of these stereotypes are false because there is no one single definition of feminism and what it means to be a feminist. Some people actually think it is a bad word and others believe feminists are the greatest freedom fighters of all time. Who are feminists really? Maybe you are one and don't realize it. If you believe in equality, then you are a feminist according to Moffat. What is your definition? |
