KAVEL
Kavel Rafferty’s new work is a modern tongue in cheek look at sexual roles. By fetishising the domestic and mundane, it explores the polarised identities available to women. The viewer feels drawn into a voyeuristic world in which they watch the intimate moments of the subjects unfold before them from a hidden vantage point. This group of eight prints, which use a domestic setting to examine sexual stereotypes, explore the idea that the ideal woman is a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.
