An installation piece based on the Everyday Sexism Project twitter account set up by Laura Bates. The piece consists of quotes from the twitter account stenciled with graphite on brown paper, hung together with thread and tape. I used tweets which I found particularly shocking yet relatable to most women and girls.

The quotes read:

‘This morning a guy asked for my number and then asked whether or not I was a virgin’

‘My workplace takes photos of everyone for the staff page on the website. Women are photoshopped, men are not’

‘Myself and female business partner were turned down for a contract last week as we were ‘too much of a pregnancy risk’

‘Slipped and grazed my upper leg behind bar. Duty manager took me in to tend to it so he could ‘get your pants down’

‘Work the longest hours out of everyone in my office and get paid the lowest wage’

Tracey Emin - My Bed (1998)

The artist’s bed, presented in the state she claimed it had been while in the midst of a suicidial depression brought on by relationship difficulties. Empty booze bottles, cigarette butts, stained sheets, worn panties, “the bloody aftermath of a nervous breakdown”, My Bed was a scandalous installation in its day and though it wasn’t the winner of the Turner Prize, its notoriety has persisted.
