Abstract: This written report supports the creative thesis entitled Corrupt Fairytales An Exploration of Implied Gender Roles Through Functional and Wearable Art. This thesis will investigate implied gender roles through research and the body of work presented consists of functional and wearable art objects using imagery and elements of nostalgia from the mid-twentieth century. By using materials pertaining to the time period I am referencing and integrating graphics with text. The art objects created converse about my views on current gender issues and my search for identity in today's society.
