The name A Reasonable Woman is intentionally satirical to highlight the abrupt difference between society’s portrayal of an ideal or reasonable woman, and the conceptual woman being proposed by Morgan and Malone’s work.

The title coincides with the late 1800s concept of a vilified “public woman” versus the idealized domestic “true woman”, and is intended to contrast the hyper-pink, maximalist, over-the-top nature of the installation.

Malone and Morgan critique this polarizing concept and allow modern women to ask themselves where they fit into this contradictory spectrum.

Ultimately, who is a Reasonable Woman?
