The audiences awareness

Rethinking to my last post I raised awareness as to where I would feel that my work would be most successful, I didn't necessarily pick up on the difference in audiences. As my work too relates to significant women such as artists, models and literary characters, the consciousness to these characters may not be recognised to everyone. In conjunction it made me think how by placing a piece in an environment such as book shop, library or even specific departments within a university building; i.e an English or literature department where by there maybe a bigger audience who will be aware of such characters as Blanche Dubois and Esther Greenwood for example. I would like to investigate this further as to how different the work may be seen from an audience who is aware of the women in reference to how an audience who is unfamiliar with responds to.
