Ciao Hazel
At first your work is superficial, conceptual, as object female, SEX...and then I sense something subtle the Goddess.
let me know if I am wrong or right...As an artist I usually despise shock art... but yours is different , I see myself in it...artist, creator, Goddess, sexual, tantric being. "CLICK HERE" for Hazel Dooney's website.

Thank your for your thoughts about my work. No, I don't regard myself as a "shock artist" – the term "shock pop" which is often used to describe my art is actually derived from a critical perspective of Japanese, anime-inspired art (Murakami, among others) which drew relationships between that and my art. My work was also recently included in a touring institutional show that drew analogies between pop and popular Japanese manga and anime.
My paintings and photographs are not about pandering to prurience or trying to confront petit bourgeois prejudices towards sexual subject matter. I am trying to provoke a reassessment of women's sexual identities as they are filtered through diverse media and comment on the way these can, at once, empower and debase. Whether self-empowerment and boldness are aspects of the 'Goddess', I will leave it to others to decide.

Wow...a reassessment of women's sexual ids as filtered through diverse media...
Curious.. is PORNO a guide. .as it is in the art world
it duplicates and mirrors the internet world. Are you putting up a mirror? to us the viewer... how to escape from the erotic nature of it all.
or experienced it all
