To consider the female form and physical pain that originates from a natural source introduces the female cycle of reproduction and childbearing.
The work ‘This Venus’ 2025, showed a version of the female form undergoing surgical procedures to fulfill a version of aesthetic appeal by contemporary standards.
I created this piece in 2025 for the interim show 'Comma' for my Masters of Fine Art Degree at the Glasgow School of Art. The work led to further reflection of the female form and pain, research leads to alternative ideas of the female body and pain. These developed in to my final piece in the 2026 exhibition 'MFA'.
