Jacqueline Hayden

Jacqueline Hayden (born 1950) is an American feminist artist. Hayden's work focuses primarily on the theme of women's bodies as the site for larger cultural discourse. The five series highlighted on her website,[1] Celestial Bodies (2011-ongoing), Passing Away (2010–2013), Voluminous (2003–2006), Ancient Statuary Series (1996–2000), and Figure Model Series (1991–1996) all photograph women with typically marginalized body types—i.e. the aging female body, or overweight women. By highlighting or allowing these women cultural space within her artwork she has placed attention on often silenced voices and bodies. Aside from Hayden's objective of bestowing marginalized females a newfound acknowledged subjectivity in the scope of physical female representation in the historical trajectory of art, she works within larger themes of equating bodies to celestial space.
