MAJOR PROJECT PROPOSAL ROSALIE OAKMAN / MA TEXTILE DESIGN / CHELSEA COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN / FEBRUARY 2021
note: I will be using the spelling “WomxnÂť; it is a spelling of "women" that is a more inclusive, progressive term that not only sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, but to also show that womxn are not the extension of men but their own free and separate entities.
RESEARCH FOCUS
DESIGN IDENTITY
My research focus is around the expression, identity, and sexuality of womxn. I am trying to find a way to express and share their individualities and stories through the medium of textiles. Highlighting some of the joys of being a womxn, but also the physical and emotional hardship that comes with it. Acting as a testimony of our time, being a support and a legacy.
During my fine art bachelor’s degree, I was searching for ways to express my story and the physical and emotional hardship I went through. The discourses around sexuality when I was a teenager were absent and often surrounded with shame. There has since been an evolution; people are more eager to listen as you can see with social movements such as #metoo; #balancetonport; #metooincest. In the continuity of that line of work, my designs will cast a light on the issues surrounding the female body and sexuality and give womxn the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge. Giving other womxn different ways of understanding things about themselves, away from the western male gaze, in a positive, non-judgmental, empathetic way. Fighting against some of the violence and aggressions womxn are facing today.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Two directions are possible, although not yet fully decided as they could both work together. The project itself, being flexible, would depend on the conversations had with the womxn I interview. Initially, I was wondering if I could upcycle a piece of textile or garment used by the womxn that I interview. It could be interesting to turn something that already belongs to them into a personal artefact relating to their story. I also have a collection of fabrics and garments my mother has accumulated over the years that I could upcycle. It has been my practice to recover and give a new life to objects and materials. This aspect should be integrated as a part of my final project. For my project I intend to work with British and French small businesses to source my material. Creating artefacts or garments that will be made as an interpretation of those womxn’s’ stories should create an attachment to the object and promote emotional durability. The textile outcome will be both useful and wearable, but also be a statement and art piece; opening discussions and raising questions about our contemporary society, body politics and social change.
PURPOSE I want to centre my project around the transmission of the legacy that is passed on from womxn to womxn and create a way for storytelling through objects/garments.
On the technical side, I am trying to learn as many techniques as I can to be able to utilise those skills for the purpose of sharing others’ stories. Using my crafts and abilities as a tool for art and expression. This MA is helping me to understand various rapports to textiles and sustainability, teaching me to consider every aspect and to try and make the best choices possible.
FUTURE AMBITIONS I aim to become a textile Artist and Designer, questioning social behaviours, body politics and conceptions around our way of living. I will start working in the industry and as a freelancer to acquire skills, knowledge, and experience. In the near future, I intend to create an Atelier in France. I would like to keep restoring my family property and invest in creating a hybrid between an eco-retreat and an art and textile studio. It would be a learning and sharing space. Enabling people to unplug from their routines, learn new skills, share ideas, create together. Giving the opportunity for people to experience a different rapport to themselves compared to the one that our capitalist and consumerist society has imposed on us. Living in a different rhythm, reconnecting to nature, art, and themselves.
The story will be engraved in the artefact, in a visible or invisible way depending on the womxn. I want to question the rapport to identity, sexuality, and the question of how we share it. Hopefully, breaking taboo or shame, liberating dialogue and creating a subversive way of expression and transmissibility. I want my design practice to be ethical, and question some of our social behaviours and the rapport womxn have to their bodies.
METHODOLOGIES
AIMS
For the MA project, I intend to create a sound / image / textile base from the testimonies of the womxn I will interview.
• Opening and inspiring dialogues around the female body and sexuality • Showing a diverse variety of examples of womxn’s stories • Investigating the question of transmissibility of womxn to womxn’s knowledge • Creating a system to work through the issues presented in the project • Bringing awareness around sustainability, design and making • Gaining a better understanding of materials and sustainability Establishing discussions and showing a variety of examples of womxn’s embodiment, how they consider their sexuality, what makes them, them. I would like to give an opportunity for womxn to share their stories in a unique way, and lead though storytelling to inspire younger womxn. It is an area of investigation that is in perpetual change and still has a long way to go. Female artists, designers, and theorists such as Mona Hatoum, Jenny Holzer, Judy Chicago, Sarah Lucas, Griselda Pollock, and many others have taken part in acting and speaking around womxn’s issues and labour. I believe I must act and speak too, and continue that process, bringing my own contribution into breaking womxn’s silence.
My project relates to those ambitions as it is one of the first big steps into that frame of work.
First, defining my angle of questions, making it the most open to interpretation for the womxn. I will need to give them a consent and ethics form. Then deciding what will need to be sent and shared by the interviewees and why it is relevant. Considering the current pandemic, the interviewees will play a more active part in some of the processes, for example they will have to take pictures of their textiles and environment to have visual references. This will give more strength to the womxn’s statements as it will make it even more personal and express their point of view. Through discussion we will then decide together what they would like their piece/ object to say. From this outcome I will start preparing moodboards, samples, and experiments towards the piece that will be created for them. The entire process will be recorded and documented through social media and journaling, available to all and hopefully starting to open discussions around womxn’s issues, bringing awareness to the subjects of sustainability and making. The final outcome still cannot be defined as it is likely to evolve and change throughout the process. But if possible, at the end of the year the interviewees will be involved in the presentation of their “object”/ garment whilst demonstrating how it is linked to the fragment of their story. If we have to navigate more throughout the pandemic, an alternative will be to have a picture or video of them with their object and the possibility to listen to their story at the same time.
/ research
I have asssembled most of my research here. I have included some of my notes, which are personnal and express some of my ideas, opinions and thoughts. They are not considered as general truths, and I am not trying to impose them on anyone. I thought I should include them to give more understanding on the whys and the hows I am working on this project.
Visual thesaurus for “woman”:
As you can see, the word “woman” does not have much meaning other than the fact that it is related to the word “man”, that carries all “humankind” on its “shoulders”. The word “woman” is only defined by her position according to the adult male human and to the position that “woman” may occupy in a “mans” life. Etymologically the word “woman” comes from the old English “wiffmon” coming itself from Germanic roots meaning “wife of man”.
I have included some notes in French too as I work in both languages and depending on the language in which I’m reading my notes vary. I have the intention to translate them for the final major project if it is of use, but will leave them as they are for now.
In France, the word “woman” is “femme”; it comes from the Latin noun “femina” close to a verb that means to suckle, breastfeed - note that the word “female” comes from there too. Women are not “of man,” woman are not defined only by their reproductive functions neither are they defined by their position and relation to men. For this reason, I will now speak of them as Womxn. It is a term that is now used for more inclusivity and progressivity and I adhere to this. The ‘x’ has been used by Descartes to represent ‘unknown quantities,’ or ’speculation’ in Maths and is nowadays used in Language to modify and create gender-neutral words.
It has come to my attention that some of the language use in English and French are different, and lead to different ways of apprehending the meaning of the words and the political and social behaiours that «come of them». For example as the French artist ORLAN point out is that in a lot of american texts they use the terminology «human beings», which erases the problem of using «Homme» in french to define «all humans». She says that our languages, our ways of life are evolving, and so should our use of language, to offer more inclusivity.
Those differences in the etymology and variety of the word woman underlines how alienated Womxn are and how much work still must be done in the 21st century for Womxn. The feminist fight for equality that started a 100 years ago is still not over.

Visual thesaurus for “man”:
Definition of woman 1a: an adult female person
“Womxn : is a spelling of "women" that is a more inclusive, progressive term that not only sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, but to also show that womxn are not the extension of men but their own free and separate entities.”

2: WOMANKIND
I am writing as a white Franco Britannic cisgender womxn in my mid-twenties –think it is important to know for the record.
3: distinctively feminine nature: WOMANLINESS
We are in 2021, most of us have not known any wars, neither have most of our parents. We are one of the lucky generations. Of course, we can speak about climate change, wars in other countries that we barely hear of, famines and illnesses. Most of those things except that pandemic do not really touch us neither do they really “matter” from the comfort of our homes. I am here today to speak about Feminism, but also about us, Womxn in our twenties and thirties now. And how we perceive our world, make it our own and most of all exist.
4: a woman who is a servant or personal attendant 5: a: chiefly dialectal: WIFE b: MISTRESS
I am shocked. It is an aberration for me to see that Womxn still only exist in association with men, or for men, not for who we are of for what we can do. the representation of us as an entity expresses “so little” and yet we now have positions like men in the social-cultural and economic places, and we think we own the same power they have. But clearly, we still do not.

We were born and raised to believe and dream of equality. And yet, a closer look to the salary gap, to how life in general is divided, how men get the best jobs, more promotion, how little we are invested in the political sphere, and how little we are allowed in it, how childcare is still mostly assigned to us, how sexual harassment, abuse, and domestic violence hurt us more. We are far from that equality that all those womxn movements have been and are still fighting for. A few problems seem to appear on the journey to our liberation. The first problem is linked to memory. How do we transmit our memories, our fights, how do we share those legacies? How do we subvert the power? How do we dismantle Capitalism? Colonialism? And above all Patriarchy?
May I try and shock you visually? Here are two diagrams from the English Thesaurus. One is for the word “woman” and the other one is for the word “man”.
As Griselda Pollock says, womxn need to reclaim embodiment, to reclaim having the right to be the subject of rights and have them.
From the beginning of the 20th century onwards, Womxn were trying to be self-sufficient, fight for a job, a living … existing. Nowadays it is shocking to see how many of us have forgotten or are unaware of that battle womxn undertook then and before that. It seems like a distant memory.
• in 1918 in the UK the womxn got the right to vote but will have equal right to men in 1928 – in France we will have to wait until 1944.
• in the 1920’s womxn were fighting for the right to work, the scholar programs became the same for boys and girls.
• in 1944 in the UK access to secondary education is made free. • in the 1960’s womxn were fighting for the right to have an equal pay. • in 1961 contraception became legal. • in 1965 in France, womxn can open their own bank account they will have to wait 1975 for the UK.
• in 1967 abortion was starting to become legal – this is still a fight happening nowadays in a lot of countries.
• in 1985 prohibition of female circumcision and the equal pay amendment is made in the UK.
•
in 1991 is rape considered a crime.
Here a just a few key dates and examples of the fights of womxn. I have restricted it to those, but it is not about how much I put in the light here. I want you to look at how close those dates are to us now in 2021 and how little time separates us from those moments. And I would like to make you aware that those victories are sadly not engraved in stone, and that even now in 2021 womxn in the world do not have some of those rights and that even some “developed countries” such as the USA are starting to think of revoking some of those rights. One of the scariest things to me is that I have noticed that nowadays there has been an inversion of the “womxn’s dream” that they had in the 20th century and that younger girls and womxn around me are speaking of prince charming, the perfect house and the perfect family. I hear less and less womxn speaking of thriving for themselves and their carrier. It is as if we had forgotten that there was more, and that we could want and do more than house chores and alienated ourselves to the “other”. It is likely that the more we forget about the fight that womxn have been enduring over the last 150 years, the more we take it for granted, the more likely we are to lose it. We must do something.
Why did I chose this subject: One of the main problems I faced as a young girl was the rapport to my body, the sense of injustice and discrimination because I was a girl, and then growing up all the hatred and prejudice, the continual questioning and not understanding. Being sexualised and used as a sexual object. The discourses then where not as much present as today, often surrounded by shame. There has been an evolution, it seems that now people are more eager to listen as you can see with the social movements #metoo; #balancetonport; #metooincest. I want my work to put light on the female body and sexuality and give the opportunity for womxn to share their experiences, knowledge and give people the keys of understanding things about themselves out of the male gaze. In a positive, caring way.

To expand my knowledge around female artist and designers, I started exploring and documenting their work. What type of work do they do? how do they choose to represent it? This is enabling me to choose some references for my project, and define what I want to work on. It is a tool that will enable more understanding and visibility around womxns work. It isn’t a finsihed product, and still has a long way to go. Here is a sample of the excel spreadsheet I started doing, if you want full access to the speadsheet: https://artslondon-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/r_oakman0220191_arts_ac_uk/EYFZV6BdYwxMqZZ3kRM-a7YBZyXZwuy3ZiTx-12cM-

[...] il entrait de la complicité de cette désinvolture .. la lutte antisexiste n’est pas seulement dirigée, comme la lutte anticapitaliste, contre les structures de la société, elle s’attaque à chacun de nous à ce qui est de plus intime et ce qui nous paraissait le plus sûr. “ Gender trouble, JUDITH BUTLER embattled oppositional relationship to certain forms of feminism Feminism <=< new forms of hierarchy be careful not to idealise expression of gender ⇒ and exclusion

First moodboard / October-November 2020 Some of the artists and designers works I like, some of my old works. Possible exploitation of textile, colour pallette and textures. Questions that came with it:
• • • • • • • • • • •
colour obviously has meaning and strengh, but would removing it or staying in monochrome give more impact? is it necessary to have a human representation/shape to make the assimilation/link with the person stronger? How can I translate those thoughts, obsessions, and make them feel «human» and raw the line, the text, how can I express in a more understandable way what my messages convey? how can i make textiles/designs feminist? abstraction, surrealism, minimalism, conceptual, as window to the human soul? what was Kupka trying to say, what did he try to say with his spiritual art? masks, clothing, accessories, hiding or revealing? how can I express with textile the same emotion as in painting/drawing? how do different mediums convey the question of mouvement? weird, beautiful? why?
I realised that writing had an important part in my process of research but also in my past works. Actually it is everywhere. I had a look into some of the female artist whose work resonnate the most with me, and possible ways of using writing in my work. Here are a few examples I have selected but they are many more. I am still exploring with my excel sheet and taking notes as I go of the works I like. I chose Sophie Calle because of her way of invistigation, documenting, and writing. I chose Jenny Holzer and Tracey Emin for the strengh of the messages express and the very different ways they present it. I chose Jane Haworth’s work because I really enjoyed the materiality and deconstruction of her work and find it to be an intesting possibility of using textile and painting.
Sophie Calle
Suite vénétienne, 1980 Take care of yourself, 2007
Tracey Emin Psyco slut, 1999.
Jenny Holzer Living, 1980-1982
Projections, Paris, 2009 It is guns, Miami, 2019

Jane Haworth Soft sculpture and painting 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
The first time I was pregnant I started to crochet the baby a shawl, 1998-2000
I didn’t realise that writing was that much present in my practice until I was (re)discovering other’s womxn’s work. Since I arrived in the UK last year, I have focused a lot on learning textile techniques and less on the writing aspect. I think I need to bring them back together. Here are a few pieces that I made that could be linked / offer possibilities of wht the MA could also be. LA PIERRE OU LA CHAIR 25 août 2017, Province de Chiang Mai, 21:03 La pierre est froide et fière, elle est droite et chamboule Elle brise les bienheureux, et les perd dans ses feux Des sillons bien profonds, dans les creux des montagnes Elle creuse Sinueux. Mais où est donc Mercure ? Et par quelle parjure nous laisse-t-il donc ici ? Nous pauvres humains, en attendant Cerbère A l'entrée de ce gouffre, où se trouve l'adultère Mon ami, mon amour ... tu es déjà parti Tu as déjà glissé de par cette rivière Dois-je donc songer redevenir poussière ? Te rejoindre là-bas avec Proserpine ? Ou rester ici-bas, et déguster la chair ? Tu es unique, et loin. Tu n'es plus, je suis là. Le tendre est là aussi, surgissant de ton ombre. Il me voit, il me prend, et mon corps succombe. Je le veux, je te veux, je vous veux tous les deux. La chair est bien aimable, et vous en conviendrez Elle est délectable, et ce, rien qu'au toucher. Je l'aime déjà je crois, mais je t'aime tout autant. Je te suivrais là-bas, seulement si tu m'attends 26 De la noirceur profonde, aux plaisirs acharnés Aux tumultes de l’extase, à la voracité Ô non-dits, à la mort et à sa vérité Je brûle et me consume. Telle est ma volonté. Devrait-on renoncer aux plus grands des péchés ? Aux plaisirs de la chair ne devrait-on goûter ? Abandonner douleurs, cris, joies et peurs Ce que jamais l'on irrite mieux de ses sens, Saura se perdre dans sa décence Laissant toutes ardeurs dans les chimères du lendemain.
I have written in 2018 a small novel Reveries, and a poesie anthologie ( over a few years) and illustrated them, etc. => possibility of documenting the wimxns stories into some booklets to go with the documenting process. In the object/garment making process I embroided some texts that were quotes, facts/testimonies, and also positive thinking sentences ... I like the fact it is engraved in the material and beeing part of it. Alienation, is a straight jacket made with old sheets, there is some positive therapy thinking engraved in it only readable if you are looking at the inside or wearing it in front of a mirror. It speaks about mental illness, trying to fit in our society resulting in alienating one’s self. For the straight Jacket there was also a performative video, speaking abot mental illness and wellbeing. The gloves have a hand embroidered quote from Simone de Beauvoir « speech is a subversiv act, the first step towards liberation.» The robe is made with a sequin fabric, sparkly and shining to the eye. Inside the robe embroidered in red thread is a testimony of the emotional and physical hardhip I had as a young girl that broke me and shaped my life, showing that «all that glitters isn’t gold». Those past works could be possible directions as continuation development for the MA too

MATERIAL MATTERS

I am using Materials Matter as an opportunity to investigate the materials I already possess. It is in - nearly - complete shock that I discovered that most of the yarns I had were synthetic. It was interesting to see that a lot of it ended up being acrylic, and surprisingly enough, some yarns I thought to be acrylic were wool! A lot of them were mainly made in Turkey. It was a journey around understanding the fiber and learning techniques. It was super interesting to see how the yarns were mixing in the weave, and in the knitting machine samples. Experimenting with those materials has taught me a lot I think. Something struck me in the process. I was sampling, but what for? What will become with my samples in the end? That just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem logic .. And then I was wondering what I was doing. And clearly, I was losing it. Then I decided that the samples all could exist and be a whole, and be a never-ending process, become art and speak by itself.
