Anthr(ob)scene, 2021

Anthrop(ob)scene alludes to the insidious liquid body and the unknowable, ungovernable place it haunts, seeking to undo and reject dominant ways of viewing. Offering warm, painterly features that allude to the sexual body, Anthrop(ob)scene constructs a recognisable yet partial, ambiguous and almost liquid body which refuses to give the gaze fully identifiable, sexual flesh to objectify.

Untitled (Worms), 2020

Untitled (Worms), explores lace and it’s dichotomous representation as either a symbol of purity or sexuality. Using this fabric in conjunction with the formless female body to allure audiences, constant and broken repetition seeks to frustrate and deny the gaze. Never reaching a clear climactic moment, Untitled explores the heaviness of feminine labour under the male gaze.

Cheap Flesh, 2019

Cheap Flesh explores the commodification of feminine flesh, and the extreme sexual nature of product advertisement. The mound of cheap meat the hands hold appears similarly to human flesh and is shaped suggestively. The glossy, dripping textures on the meat combined with appealing colours and symbols of femininity appeal to viewers sexuality, attracting interest in the image. Upon closer inspection however, the meat appears to be oozing and weeping, the hands tightly gripping and cutting the fragile flesh. It is burned by wax and marked by sharp fingernails. Cheap Flesh attempts to fracture the way viewers view and react to sexual advertising imagery, by disrupting and making grotesque typical sexually alluring imagery.

Aberrant Femininity, 2019

Aberrant Femininity investigates the relationship between how women are represented and the limited roles - domestic and sexual - they are afforded. In this work, the artist uses her own body to subvert these established conventions.

Drawing on strategies of juxtaposition and the abject, these works queer the domesticated and sexualised body, producing painful yet curious imagery. These artworks continue feminism’s reclamation of authorship and autonomy.
