A Very Seductive Bubble Bath, 2024

Drawing inspiration from the female nude in Western art history, I situate my art through a lens that opposes and emancipates my work from a hetero-patriarchal Male Gaze. I consider my practice sitting somewhere between a Female and Queer Gaze, which allows me to create a space for autonomy, identity and desirability to flourish and be uninhibited. My work exemplifies a sense of exploration, comfortability and empowerment of feminine sexuality and desires.

I am a young, queer, multi-disciplinary artist based in Melbourne/Naarm, working across mediums of painting, drawing, sculpture and video performance. My artistic practice explores how self-reflexive eroticism and sexual exploration through art can be a gesture of feminine empowerment and notes the faculty of bodily decadence.

My work interrogates the complexities of sex, sexuality, identity and pleasure by prescribing a ‘normalising’ of these notions. By presenting my work in the context of art, I assign value and cultural significance to the themes within my practice.
