About

To be a woman is a bit like being in a pantomime, a performance.
My work is influenced by Fashion, Beauty, Pornography and Politics. It is bold and confrontational.
We live in a mainstream society that perpetuates and reinforces sinister laws of gender.
I deconstruct everyday (explicit) images of women readily found on magazine shelves around the world.
I work initially in sketchbooks to create an amalgamation of these expectations and oppressions.
In the process of trying to make a monster I am left with something else,
something that in a strange way is also beautiful.
Dark and uncertain yet bright and enchanting.
I'd now like to welcome my 'Performers'; Felicity, Paula, Leoni, Sandra Jane...
