My practice is centred on the investigation of the female form. This has been revealed through a variety of media such as performance, photography, object making and installation. I often perform as my alter ego Miss Vagina Head, which includes a large sculpted vagina-head-piece. During these performances I take on the character of Miss Vagina Head whilst interacting with the public and gauging their reactions.

More recently I have made installation based sculptures that have also been used as components for installation based photography. My work often explores elements of control. The viewer may be encouraged to look at the work from one particular viewpoint. Sculptures of body parts are often placed into constructed rooms or site- specific environments. The viewer is encouraged to become conscious of their position as the voyeur. The situation is often set up with the illusion that the viewer has caught these representations in a private moment or space. We are uncertain as to whether these objects are aware of their audience. These intimate and claustrophobic spaces aim to create a sense of voyeurism and confrontation.

My intention is to create a mixture of emotions, a concoction of disgust and delight, disturbance and intrigue.

The transformation of three-dimensional objects into photography signifies the conversion from a women to a two dimensional image, in current media images and magazines.
