Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Artist Alice Instone explores the prominence of powerful female muses throughout history.
Her work draws attention to how we consume images of women and the female archetype, from the dangerous seductress to the alluring innocent.
Her work is currently on display at the Cob Gallery until 30 November.
The title of the exhibition, Because a Fire was in My Head, is taken from Yeats' ‘The Song of Wandering Aengus’, which talks of an elusive female muse.
Contributors to an accompanying catalogue about her work include writers Caitlin Moran and India Knight, Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti, model Laura Bailey, and playwright (and co-owner of the Cob Gallery) Polly Stenham.
