Background
| Since graduating with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Edith Cowan University in 1990, I have been working full time as a clay artist with part-time lecturing at Edith Cowan University. The inspiration for my work lies with the female form and stereotype in the guise of mother, wife, domestic vassal and vamp. I'm concerned with the trivialisation and simplification of identity which stereotyping engenders. |
Work Overview
 |
Ceramics, Sculpture, Painting/Drawing |
I express my concerns through the use of "The Painted Lady", brightly painted audacious ceramic women sculptures referencing utilitarian teapots, jugs and bowls. Most of my work begins life on the wheel as voluptuous symmetrical forms. In a complex distortion and assemblage process these forms take on life as contorted, farcically idolatrous female figures. | |
