Experiments and Artists

I think i would like to take my work further and go away from how i see myself and looks more about how those close to me see themselves. I think i would like to gain some substance from interviewing my female friends and family members about how they feel about their bodies and if they think they fit in with what would be classed as appealing to the eyes of the male gaze. I then could potentially try to get them to create something which displays how they feel towards it without having to use words, as this may be too difficult and they may not be as honest as i would like. I am trying to keep a close link with psychology and art because i would like to get into art therapy in the future.
