This project looks on how women have been portrayed in myths, fairy tales, and folklore, and how those restrictive archetypes contributed to the empowerment of the pervasive patriarchy. I inhabit roles, such as the witch, and depict her doing everyday activities. These depictions upend the long-standing view of these “dangerous,” powerful outcasts by placing them into the sphere of the everyday, engaging in commonplace, utilitarian activities.
