About the artist / Artist's Statement
…woman’s sexuality, as spectator, undergoes a constant process of transformation. She must look, as if she were a man with the phallic power of the gaze, at a woman who would attract that gaze, in order to be that woman…
…a journey, which is both a conscious and subconscious process, through my artworks. My own response is exploring and upsetting in some measure, the oppressor/victim, active/passive dualities. I question every assumption, reaction I have, as a result of being culturally conditioned. The expression of my sensibilities and concerns is not a politicised feminism but more of a psychic bonding to my femaleness. Amen.
