Historically, scale has been used to enhance the impact of an artwork on its audience. This project encourages viewers to question artists’ choices of scale and their effects on the viewer.

The phrase ‘Bigger Than Yours?’ references the ambition of artists to produce large-scale works and examines its associations with perceived masculinity, dominance, and hierarchy.
