Reba Maybury (born 1990),[1] is a British-Pakistani artist sometimes working under the name Mistress Rebecca. Her work explores the tension between her perceived strength as a figure of fantasy and how through the reality of sex work and gender she turns this power into something tangible. [2][3]
Maybury describes men as her medium and much of her art practice is physically created by her submissive’s through her direction, as a way to further the complicated imbalances of labour under sex work. Themes of capital, labour, power, sexuality, female perversion, bureaucracy as torture and humiliation are essential themes to her practice, where the medium of the work ranges from installation, painting, photogrpahy, writing and drawing.
Early life and education
[edit]Maybury was born in Oxford in 1990[4] to a Pakistani mother and a Welsh father and has a younger sister.[5] She graduated in Fashion History and Theory in 2013 at the faculty of arts and design Central Saint Martins in London.[6]
