Performance/film work.
With the work, I am exploring and interrogating social boundaries and acceptable codes of exposure. The appropriate/inappropriate dichotomy, particularly in relation to femininity. I hope that the work elicits a visceral response from the viewer, to experience a heightened awareness of their own body.
The idea that the female body can be acted upon and coerced by external forces must be disrupted to reframe the body as active and autonomous. If the body is a surface to be inscribed upon by cultural and societal forces, what is real? Where is the real self beneath the culturally formed surface of the skin and bodily contours.
