"Girls with Guns Series" by Karen Bradtke 15 September - 2 March 2020


Girls with Guns Series

by Karen Bradtke

 


These works and others like them were created for a group exhibition titled Pulp Fiction in Durban, South Africa in 2015. Some of the works were sold so they have been replaced.

While reading up on what ‘pulp fiction’ I found this image from The Tin Ear and it inspired me to look for images of tough women characters from films who were holding guns. They are images taken from the Internet of actresses like Joan Crawford, Natalie Wood, Peggy Stewart, and Jane Mansfield. The text was found by Googling quotes from film said by women. I then matched the quotes to the images using Photoshop.
