Artist Statement
My work involves nude and erotic imagery, which is used to provoke sexual desire or a sense of tease. I aim to empower women by using sex appeal as a tool. I explore the idea of women being the dominant role and experiment with the idea that, some women like to exploit their body. Some women get self gratification through displaying their body to others; and by using their sex appeal as a tool of empowerment.
I create stitched illustrations of sexual content, primarily hand stitched. I like the idea of the traditional connotations of women stitching, contrasting with the imagery within my work. I use stitching as a drawing and mark making process. Stitching has a very aesthetical side which I like to explore.
