Maggie shot to fame in the 1960's playing Bond girl 'Dink' in Goldfinger and subsequently starred in six Carry On films. She also featured in some 380 television productions, West End plays, fringe theatre and''serious' films like 'Trois Chambres a Manhattan' directed by Marcel Carne. Her artwork uses photos taken during this time and leads us question the role of the viewer and how women are seen by the rest of society. The following quote from John Berger's 1972 book 'Ways of Seeing' particularly resonates with her:
'To be born a woman has been to be born, within an allotted and confined space, into the keeping of men. ... But this has been at the cost of a woman's self being split into two. A woman must continuously watch herself. And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. Thus she turns herself into an object - and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.'
