Statement
As an artist working primarily in sculpture, I have a keen interest in the grotesque, human form.
By reconstructing media-generated images and collective corporeal desires, I project dystopian visualisations of self-indulgence, excessive consumption and vanity through a pink, glittery lens. Underpinned by a tension between attraction and repulsion, my work directly reflects my inner conflict when confronting contradictions and dilemmas surrounding the beauty craze. Notions of authenticity and emulation, empowerment and oppression, desire and excess are all at odds.
