Student Biography

My recent work is concerned with the simultaneous visioning of internal and external bodily space. I am interested in how the body has been visually manifested under the medical gaze of open anatomical theatres and through the gendered anatomical illustrations of the 17th century.

Influenced by the philosophies of Pierre Bourdieu and Freud’s theory of the uncanny; I have staged a visual enquiry into the bodily retention of history with the aim to make parallels with our contemporary climate that perpetuates bodily control through religious and political agendas.

The body remains a spectacle, a contested site.

I have engaged with the material and formal qualities of cutting, slicing, stitching and pinning cloth; my method is to work in a quite a surgical manner. Works employ found clothing, domestic fabrics, felt, fleece, linings and interfacings to re-vision bodily narratives with a sense of nostalgia.
