As Much As I WOULDN'T LIKE TO
This project focuses on unwanted interactions that come from a place of entitlement and desire. Interactions that embody opposing emotions. The figures are direct depictions of moments of unwelcome touch. These moments lure in the viewer using colours and textures that seduce and tempt, but contradict their appearance with the narrative they create. The normalisation of violence against women in popular culture and media has been my main source of research for this body of work. The dominant, aggressive male is romanticised, and male sexual desire is prioritised. Recreating these glamourised moments out of the context of a movie, TV show, or music video, makes the work confrontational, and provokes a response that is less easily ignored.

This is a collaboration I did with Adam Farrell before he moved country. We wanted to make something to cherish the time we were lucky to live a five minute walk from each other. In complete vanity we wanted to plaster our faces as big as possible across a jacket and then hold hands as if we are in the creation.
