Statement
I am a social media concerned, satire obsessed, and enthusiastically disturbed consumer of popular culture. Utilising the historical medium of illusion and façade in theatre and performance, my films explore the ever-present and growing relationship between media corruption and the sexualisation of our younger generations, most recently coined ‘The Lolita Effect’ (M.Gigi. Durham, 2009). My focus is on our societal fascination with eroticised imagery of children’s bodies, the commodification of this and my concerns around the dangers of combining adult sexual motifs with childhood innocence.
Post uni, I have been focusing on my anti-fast fashion line - Angel Brains, a brand that offers a queer safe space and encourages dressing for yourself, not for the eyes of others, all whilst providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative for those who wish to shop with a clear conscience.
