This series of works was developed for a site specific pop up exhibition.
Concerned with how femininity is contained both societally and bodily within domestication these works seek to challenge the viewer. What is “women’s work”? Balanced on a precipice of vulgarity and sterility, commonly identified objects are transformed via medium and placement into a narrative of captivity. Experimentation with traditionally domestic forms and unlikely materials creates a conversation between utility and metaphor. From a feminist paradigm this body of work deconstructs gender stereotypes by narrowing in on the misguided notion that ‘a woman’s place is in the home’.
