 Mixed media on paper, dimensions variable 


Women status regarding equality, dignity and freedom to make their own choices in life is currently in the precarious position of being reduced to dependence and silenced by the rise of misogynistic attitudes in today’s socio-political climate. My role as an artist is to speak out on these issues and support women who have the courage to resist. Hopefully people can reflect and ask themselves where do they stand in the defence of women’s rights.
In this exhibition I have used mixed media and collage to express the current status of women and our strong sense of resistance. The media allows a freedom of expression and overlay that contextualises the complexities of being a woman in today’s soci-political world. Art is a reflection of who and what we are as human beings and this defines the culture of out times.
