About the Artist

My work is a way of exorcising something from myself, which is very emotional, maybe troubled. I become a subject who produces that which is visible. It is my silent, non-verbal response.

My practice involves digital photography, the manipulation of my body using this process, documentation of hair growth and removal, cleansing, grooming, this relentless self surveillance and obedience.

There are a multiplicity of socio-cultural concerns about femininity and feminism, about the body, about individual control and consumption within a consumer society. Food is the medium through which women are addressed, in turn; food has become the language of women’s response.

The artwork is a play on traditional sculptural concerns, the process of adding or taking away. However, this is not achieved using stone or wood but chocolate or soap, degradable or even edible materials which underline the transient state of the body. The final works show the seductive yet repellent nature of human anatomy.

I Dream of a Common Language

2005
50x150x7cm each

A triptych of canvases depicting varying states of female ’ness’ using make-up, fat, chocolate and other viscous materials struggle to speak to the viewer. It embodies the skeletal, sexual and suffering self – one body moving through each state.

Going That Same Way

1998
76x51cm each

Going That Same Way presents a photographic diary recording the artist modelling a sculptural casing with spikes protruding from the spinal column, like a skeleton only clad with skin.

1m2

2003
100x100x32cm

1m2 presents a full, solid plaster cast of the artist’s body. The ‘made to measure’ steel cage restricts the figure whilst threatening and defensive spikes protrude from the spinal column.

Followed

2000
50x70x17cm

Followed presents solid white chocolate vertebrae mounted on a steel armature. The cupped hands for tailbone ask the viewer for help or are persuading more followers.

Bird of Paradise

1999
77x40x15cm

The female form is adorned with pheasant feathers following the contours of the body. Producing a purely aesthetic surface image upon a hollow framework.

Tart

1997
44x33cm

Showing female as consumer, she is unaware that she is the commodity and must join this disciplined quest. Tart uses jam, wax and fat overlaying photo booth images.
