Marta Parszeniew employs collage and photo-montage as a reflective medium to explore
the meaning of womanhood in the modern world. With a fascination for Soviet Eastern
European imagery and design, coupled with the use of energetic symbolism, Parszeniew’s
work aims to comment on the regressive nature of patriarchal oppression existing in today’s
societies. Using subversive imagery to explore ideas of feminism, women in their
professional and domestic lives, gender, identity and sexuality, Parszeniew’s work draws
inspiration from radical Dadaism and the Soviet constructivist movements, cementing a
modern continuation of the work of such female artists as Hannah Hoch, one of
Parszeniew’s driving inspirations.
