Artist Statement:
I am a sociologist, an artist and an author, as well as an activist. In the last few years my art has been focused on a feminist analysis of identity & intimacy, as well as our relationships to the environment/ourselves. I believe that the arts are key to our abilities to engage in progressive social and personal change - this is why I combine my art work with my academic work. My current work takes topics from famous 'old master' paintings where I make significant changes and twist them in a more modern, provocative way. My latest series of paintings is on Biblical themes as a way to imaginatively and causally link them to the Anthropocene.
