Here is a glimpse at what I've been working on - they're not all 100% finished yet, but you can see I'm exploring and branching out from my last series that was more tumultuous and uncontrolled in their composition.. My work has been hugely affected by interior design and nature lately -I've been really inspired by the combination of domestic and organic environments and motifs, both of which have been traditionally linked to femininity. By juxtaposing the two realms and unifying them with saturated colour ( another traditionally non- civilized/non-masculine signifier of primitivism and femininity - for more on this I recommend Chromophobia by David Batchelor) I'm exploring reassignment of patriarchal values, to empower femininity and feminine history through the combining of 'feminine' signifiers. All these works are boldly imposing both in size and colour, reconfiguring feminine signifiers so that they are no longer passive but strong and unapologetic.
