My practice explores pre-existing ideas of gender and how these are perpetuated through language that is conditioned by binary categorisations of understanding (male/female, man/woman, feminine/masculine, subject/object) that set out to continuously reaffirm define and categorise us as one or the other of something.
‘My practice explores the subjective tensions that arise in light of how the self experiences and negotiates existing institutions of knowledge/structures of the 'already-known'. Paying particular attention to the role and representation of woman and what it means to recognise the gendering of the self.
I am interested in the way in which language is governed by binary categorisations of understanding; binary, as the meaning of a system involving two elements (male/female, man/woman, subject/object), constructed within traditional knowledge structures that set out to continuously reaffirm the conditioning of gender and attempt to define and categorise us as individuals in the rational macro reality we share.
