Bernice Bobs Her Hair

Bernice Bobs Her Hair is a series of layered soft ground etchings, drawings and monotypes. Starting from the biased idea and normative use of marginalised graphic procedures as a means of reproduction, the idea of repetition is explored. In tandem, Mabesoone recoups visual languages that have habitually been coded as ultra-feminine and trivial. She questions how these ambiguous and subversive aesthetics can gain authority, and destabilise or resist contemporary realities and dominant cultural constructions.

The publication in collaboration with Posture Editions contains new poems by Veva Leye and a republication of Trimmings by Harryette Mullen.
