A Mirror Folded Back on Itself

Unfired porcelain vulvas depict the female body as fragmented; the performance explores ideas regarding expectations and boundaries. A denial of patriarchal femininity, the work is to be crushed and destroyed upon her body. The disruption of femininity as prescribed through a patriarchal lens. The work invites the audience to engage with, and reflect upon, an evolving disruption. To investigate the idea of obliteration as a liberating and potentially progressive act, and to interrogate social, political, and cultural codes.
