About My Work
My work combines elements of embodiment and performativity in the articulation of lived experience from a feminist perspective.
As an artist and ex-powerlifter, the physical body is central to everything I do.
Recent work explored the impact of neocolonialism and neoliberalism on the bodies of women, as both producers and consumers in the global post-capitalist economy.
I am currently working on 'Seven Sisters', a series of installations about body image, motherhood, health and disability, which build on the legacies of other women artists. How does the body remember its own history, and how does it write its own future narrative?
