While searching for artworks by Cindy Sherman, I realized that a lot of the work she did was very pro-woman which I love. Cindy Sherman represented all different kinds of women across the world which allowed women, including myself to really feel a connection with her work. For this reason, I decided to search for interviews that she has done and I came across one that Sherman did for Interview Magazine. In this interview, she explained how critically she was doing well but that it was always important for her to challenge not only herself but her fans as well.
Cindy Sherman began creating artworks that made people uncomfortable to see how they would react. This was interesting to me because many artists hope to get their work noticed and when they do, they continue to make what the people like to see. It was bold of Cindy Sherman to follow what she felt was best and make artworks that not everyone would like.
I drew inspiration from what I have learned about Sherman, the photographs she took, and the personas she took on. The photograph that I chose to use is called Untitled film still #16 and it was created in 1978. I attempted to recreate Cindy Sherman’s Untitled film still #16 by choosing a black and white filter and wearing a black dress similar to the one that she had on.
