Description:
‘My work arises out of a desire to speak about experience and subjectivity as sites of conflict. It's about denied histories: the body, sexuality, class and the structures which both enable and prevent certain knowledges. I'm interested in the difficulty of producing such knowledges within existing frameworks of visual and spoken language which may be unsuitable and inadequate but are nevertheless usefully unstable and constantly shifting. (…) “Armour” (3 mins, b/w) is again about the strength and vulnerability of the female body and is an exploration of femininity and sexuality.’
