The canon of western art history has selected and refined a narrative in which women artists have been either relegated to a state of posthumous obscurity or completely erased. In Mythical Tales, a leading tome of that still prevailing narrative is repurposed, creating still life constructions from its pages and employing interventionist processes. By subverting the traditional role of the book as sacrosanct and unassailable and highlighting the representation of women in the canon through its customary vehicle of male idealisation, this ongoing series encourages a reframing of perception.
My practice is informed by the materiality and representation of the landscape and still life objects. Where we encounter shape and form, I see also fragility and transience. Using photography as both medium and illusion, I engage in making and disrupting the boundaries of the traditional image to explore the contingencies of existence. By introducing materials, processes and dimensionality, I create work that plays with object and photographic trace.
