Notes
"Cinderella" was the inspiration for this poster. It is about the lengths to which we are prepared to go to fit the beauty myth and win the man of our dreams. This poster was produced in 1992 on a Canon Laser Colour Photocopier as part of the artist-in-residence program on issues concerning women.
