In exploring the female form through a lens of gendered violence, objectification and body dysmorphia, I take the body and communicate a fear of being externally misconstrued. Much of my work takes on a physical actuality to the content of my poetry writing, originating as a form of rant on some paper.

I find that by using my own body and others’ as a canvas, along with painting, video, and sculpture, I can create a visual communication of how I feel, and an interpretation of the societal pressure on myself and women in general  – to look a certain way, to submit, and to accept judgement.

In some way I find myself exploiting my internal anxieties within my work, creating a vulnerable, but honest, display. I hope this might read to the right audience as a reminder to be angry, and to be loud about the subjects, which I find I struggle to have confidence in outside of my artwork. To an extent, I want the viewer to take notice of the undressed body, and realise their own reaction, and find themself placed in the conversation.
