Photomontage n&b: poupée ligotée et partiellement défigurée dans un espace clair-obscurThere are girls and women who don’t want to believe everything that is said about them, or they would have to dismantle all the legends! This ontological need leads to an often terrifying plunge into the unconscious – the path Diana Thorneycroft takes in her search for her identity.

In a text titled Touching the Self, she remarks that her research “consists of exploring personal and universal questions concerning sexuality . . . drawing upon both feminist and psychoanalytical theories . . . as the interior self is built.”
