“The campaign is intended as a response to fatphobia, hatred and the questioning of non-normative bodies – particularly those of women, something that’s most prevalent in the summertime,” the Women’s Institute said earlier this week. The artist also said reports that the commission was worth €84,000 were false, and that the fee had been €4,490.
“It was nice to see the image initially but then I saw that it was for a campaign and I then felt annoyed as I hadn’t been asked to even be a part of this,” she told the Guardian.
