Constructive Criticism

Talk to me sir by Basanti (Caitlin) Miller (2008) is composed of many
different pieces that could be described as feminine. There were earrings,
nail polish, tweezers, diamonds and other things of that nature. The work
had an unhappy tone to it. There are quotes with each piece on the canvas
that gave more insight to what the artist was portraying. It was great to see
some of the issues in the piece brought to the attention of the public. Most
of the time the media is telling us how to dress and what is appropriate, and
Talk to me sir is gives great perspective that shows that a lot of the media
is ridiculous.
