‘Holy Trinity’ meshes medical and religious imagery with self-portraiture and performance stills to create a focus for contemplation of the experiences of motherhood. The work is an attempt to make sense of, and take ownership of, my first experience of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, and to share that experience.
I make work about embodied experience through a feminist lens. I mostly use my own experience as a starting point but I am also concerned with bodies generally, and the effects that global neo-colonial capitalism and the climate emergency are having on us all. It seems that women’s bodies are always disproportionately affected by these factors, our bodies do the most work for the least reward. Mothers are the most necessary of all humans!
I make work that pulls you in through its aesthetic qualities, inviting you to sit with the work and consider the ideas and experiences that I am working with. I have a multidisciplinary art practice and two grown-up children. I believe that women artists are the best artists.
